You lot REALLY haven't been on the commuter lines in south wales (namely the rhymney valley line and to radyr on the cathays+llandaff line).
They also use a 153 on the stopping service to swansea (bridgend,pyle,port talbot, briton ferry, neath, skewen, llansamlet and swansea) at peak times and believe me that's overcrowded.
Arriva have also used a 153 on the city line on a double match day (one at the milennium and one at ninian park) - and incase you didn't know the city line train stops at central AND ninian park), there were so many people on the platform they had to wait for another train. That's good planning!
