Oh! I thought all Turbostars were 20m. It was only checking for this discussion earlier that made me realise that they are longer than Electrostars. (And that diesel Networkers, sorry Network Turbos, are longer than electric Networkers.) |

I clearly failed to notice for all these years that all the Super Sprinters were 23m. -- Colin Rosenstiel |
