Problems I have to agree. RMs were re-engined. I was assuming any used now
would have to be. Doors are just health and safety gone mad. The real
problem is that RMs aren't capable of driver-only operation. It's such a
pity that the FRM never went into production.


Northern General converted one of their "RMF"s to DOO by moving the driver's seat back and making a small window with ticket machine between the front bulkhead and the stairs. The idea was that the driver would swing around to issue tickets at stops. I don't know how successful it was. Not very I suspect.
