Since when were "Nodding Donkeys" substantial? Do you remember the Winsford crash a few years ago when a 142 body was detatched from it's undercarriage? Luckily it was an ECS service.

Hey Tony,
I know a Leyland National Bus bolted onto a cattle wagon is hardly substantial, but compared to a LRV, they are still "proper trains", which is why the tram seems to suffer a bit more!
That isn't to say on track that isn't continuously welded that Pacer's aren't bad news, but as most of the lines I ride on are, in general I find the M5000 trams to be a bit of a bumpier ride.
