The Geese are domestic types reared for Christmas, known as 'China Geese'. Can be noisy and unpleasant.

That solves it nicely. The driver remains in charge unless incapacitated.

It must be a cheaper option to use an existing pair of driving motors to control the 'heritage' stock than to pay for 'new-build'. There will be fewer compatibility problems, too.

I think Ollie's idea was for all the necessary for the running of a train - motors, compressors, etc, to be in the pilot cars and for the heritage vehicles to be unpowered - i.e. a train composed of locomotives and trailers. All that would be required would be for the equipment on the old units to be bypassed/cut out. That doesn't impact of course on all the other reasons this would be impractical without several shed loads of money, of course. Impractical unless you happened to have a withdrawn 2-car Rail Adhesion set available...

Are the Clippers strike-free? They could be one of the possible 'hidden variables' in the long-term effects of the tube strikes, perhaps.

I've used them for transport, and they seem remarkably quick. (I've never seen a Felicity Kendal look-alike on board, though).

Where is the risk in running out-of-service stock with the doors open?

I think the words 'demolition' and 'Euston' in juxtaposition start things off on the wrong foot.

I'm trying to work out the long-term impact of these strikes. There are a lot of variables to take into account, some of which may yet be hidden.

I was wondering why an iconic tube station design would be suitable for a rural backwater such as Blake Hall.

Rebuild. Although the 230 includes D-stock shells and components it certainly isn’t D-stock any more. Bit like a Shackleton or a Nimrod, then?

Did they ever manage to run any of their trains without problems? It's a bit early yet.

Good to hear that vandalised stock is stopped. The travelling public will soon lose their complacency.

From inspection of the cap badge, the inset is of a first world war artilleryman - So I would imagine that the inset is from the large monument to the RA located outside the old St George's Hospital at Hyde Park Corner. The Hyde Park Corner ones all have round steel hats. This bloke is at Euston Square.

The orange 'chinstrap' is part of a 'brand'(tm). I'd have eliminated the yellow front, and made the whole lot orange.

...modern, sliding door units... They are sliding door units I will not deny this. However, having been built in the early eighties, I would only be happy describing them as modern if that was in comparison to something such the Magna Carta or Stonehenge. I was comparing them with other, similar-era rolling stock which HAS been selected for re-engineering. Ex-District D78 types, for instance.

Anybody know why these modern, sliding door units haven't been reserved by Vivarail as likely candidates for re-engineering?
