Thanks Tony.
I notice a difference on DMUs as well , and I mean modern class 150's!
On an ordinary day the train will round the corner about 100 yards away at about 10MPH and still the two oach train will shoot past us all and we have to chase it down the platform in order to get on.
I suppose it is the type of engines as well and also regulations.
You can't just slam it into reverse anymore to stop it.
Thats right health and safety have arrived.
