Really quite surprised by that, given that they're just a later build
of 319s with a different front end.

I was kind of surprised a few years ago when I first noticed it.

Mind you, they were plugged as something very new and special before
they were introduced, and turned out to be 317s with a sexier front.

Didn't the 317s originally have retention tanks for Moorgate use?

That I don't know.

A shame other plugging wasn't installed at the same time.

Yes. FAR better to leave it lying by a platform where EVERYONE can enjoy
it...
