Well thats the plan, back to the same old **** poor trains, just with a

I take it you haven't seen a refurbed SWT 455?


Yes there is one floating about, better than they were, but not a patch on
what's currently on the line.

If they can spare these trains to run on the line now, then why not keep
them there? (With the stop markers moved down the platform of course)
