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.

Not on the scale needed for IOW trains.

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.

Probably not.
