It might sound daft, but with me it's the fact that the 66's are everywhere that gets on my nerves!

I liked the old regional variations...if it was a 52 then you were probably on the WR...if you saw a 55 then you were somewhere on the ECML. Now, you can go anywhere and you'll probably see a shed. You knew where you where with the old diesels...literally!
