I know that quite a few members do not real Rail magazine for a variety of reasons, but I would strongly reccomend the purchase of the current issue.
The Editor had explained that a new build batch of mark 3s could solve many of the country's needs railwaywise. Nigel Harris did point this out last issue, and this issue there is a storm of agreeable letters on the subject.
He says (and others) they are more comfortable than MUs, stockcan be added or taken off when required, and this would provide a use for all the DVTs lying around. Above all according to Rail it is cheaper.
Being cheaper is possibly going to break the ice here.
Will we see loco hauled trains in the near future?
(P.S: In case any info is incorrect, don't blame me I didn't say it.
