G'day BW,
Finally at the local library and able to take a squiz at yer Pommy newspaper report.
HMMM.
I must say that I find "Jenny's" improvised flag a tad confusing.
Green brambles for GO and Red bloomers for STOP.
Did them railway children get run over ?
Yer newbie class 717 don't got much of a view out the side of the cab.
Management must want to prevent you lot from day dreaming out the side.
And, if the door closer pump looses it's oomph, yer moveable side wall will flap about in the breeze.
The front door of our modern day smog hollow squirts are only for emergency use.
Cattle are not permitted to transit between the two four car blocks amalgamated into an 8 car train.
Hence, the drivers cab is full width.
Old squirts did possess the angled side wall with a door to seal the drivers cab when not in use.
And, to permit cattle to transit between amalgamated sets.
But, there is still a cab side window provided.
I can only advise that you don't feast on baked beans the night before you go to toil on yer newbie class 717.
Steve.
