It's just so typically British that instead of paying a few extra grand per loco at the time of purchase, the FOCs are now wasting money in Heath-Robinson style bodges with headphones and portable aircon units. By the end of this fiasco they'll probably have spent far more and still end up with a loco that isn't as quiet and vibration-free as GM could have originally made it.

100% totally agree,
But I will say that on the 2nd link it say GBRF and Freightliner are positivley looking at improvements but what about the countries largest freight operator. EWS appears to avoided all union contact on the matter and the drivers can not take action without union backing.
This matter sems to have died a death.
