Well how does that work then? Are you saying the engine bay and suspension is
completely sealed? Because there's going to be a lot of steel touching
aluminium in there which will have to deal with winter salt.

on the underground which doesn't use salt for de-icing. I don't think there
is anywhere else on the UK rail network as challenging to the undersides of
rolling stock as Ryde Pier.
