Actually, those 155's were pretty good on that service. I'd have preferred what we had before though - 33 (or possibly 47) + mark 1 stock. Sometime in the summer of '88 (I THINK) the 155's were all temporarily withdrawn owing to a door defect, and for about three weeks we got the Cromptons back!

Now you're talking

Personally in this unit orientated time, the '153's' following conversion from '155's' look at home on our network rather than crappy 'Pacers' (arguably the worst riding units EVER???)
