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.

It was only checking for this discussion earlier that made me
realisethat they are longer than Electrostars. (And that diesel
Networkers, sorry Network Turbos, are longer than electric Networkers.)

Interesting. I clearly failed to notice for all these years that all the
Super Sprinters were 23m.
