Does anyone else find the male presenter annoying? He seems to find everything wildly exciting. Yes I do.

WNXX refers to a forum of that name GSMR (more commonly GSM-R) - the mobile telecommunications standard used by the railways. It fully Global System for Mobile Communications – Railway but the GSM part is very rarely expanded. TETRA - the secure radio communications standard/network used by the emergency services "Airwave" system and London Underground's "Connect" system. Wikipedia tells me it's Terrestrial Trunked Radio but I've never heard it as anything other than TETRA. Thank you Chris

IOW 484s : Not sure if this has been mentioned in this esteemed forum, but according to msgs on WNXX (and duly acknowledged), 484s don't have GSMR but use a commercial shipping radio system, apparently the device to the left of the handset in this image : www.facebook.com/RichardsonRail/photos/pcb.704191466870663/704190566870753/That's probably a very sensible cost saving move, comms does not have to be GSMR providing it is secure, GSMR is simply the general standard. I've been trying to find out if this marine system uses TETRA - as LU Connect Radio is TETRA - just wondering if some/all Connect kit was left on D78 and re-used (but possibly updated and/or relocated ?). WNXX ??
GSMR ?? TETRA ??

Demonstration cars were two ex 1935 tube stock driving motor cars which had been withdrawn from service form the Central Line shuttles. I did see this unit once and I think the guards end of the cars had been shortened.
