Yeah, I know - worst case scenario and all that. Still, what a pisser. I'll tell you something I won't miss about the V-Sets are the doors. Not that you have to do them yourself, mind, but the way you need to give it about 1 and half seconds after the trains stops before it opens smoothly. Again, I don't mind that, it's the ****s waiting outside who always try and open it as quick as they can and then it goes slow and doesn't open properly, and also they look pissed at you for not opening the door first.

How about the smell of the V-sets after hard breaking, you go out in to where the doors bit is and it hits you lol A smell unique to it, won't get that with the new ones.

Smoggy Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Also, even though all doors closed and no windows that open there always seems to be gale of wind that gets in a V-set. Can you imagine filling a V-set carriage with water...it would just pour out every spot imaginable lol marron and theguyyouwishyouwere 1 1 Link to comment
marron Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 I will miss that smell, always takes me back to my childhood. I don't know how often we actually did it, but I am suddenly transported to being in my Sunday best going into the city to go to Grace Brothers or something. theguyyouwishyouwere and Smoggy 1 1 Link to comment
MathyouWSW Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Someone recommended this guy to me tonight and thought I'll have to share it: He is named Francis Bourgeois and he is on instagram and tiktok. He LOVES trains a lot and his videos are very wholesome. There's another video where he stayed up all night just to see and film a train that's also known as Dick MaButt, great name: Link to comment
