When we as Drivers were finally issued gloves on a regular basis one of the reasons stated was because of the rough grips on the handrails. One supervisor also added the rider 'if your fingers are ever caught in the doors he expected to see blood inside them'. Such was the reputation Class 66s had for trapping fingers. What might seem a tongue in cheek comment left me unsure owing to the legendary tightness of our FOC who did not want to face a claim!
