Come to think of it, the 166s are quite long and wider still,
and cover the Redhill to Gatwick bit.


I very much doubt that they are 23m long (or indeed ,longer than
20m) though.


23.5m, according to their owners:

I suppose this isn't too surprising given that (via the 168s) they
were the basis for the Turbostar.


Oh! I thought all Turbostars were 20m.
