The saga goes on ? First it was the 12xx series coaches, then the Scanias. They've tried E400's (75xx series) which they ran into the ground ; 7485 et al we know to be unsuitable for the hills and it won't be long, at this rate, before the BTL9's are past their best. Now we've got an ex-London cascade drafted into fill the gap. What sort of impression does this create. Not a good one in my eyes.
