Are you talking about the ones that looked better, were more comfortable and didn't have door mechanisms that broke every 3 stops? They had better brakes too? Only Southern / Gatwick Express seem to think the 442s are an improvement :lolol:
And to think, if you survive the selection process, read and digest all those manuals, watch and digest all those videos and pass the 29 week training course you could still get posted to the island of Sodor where the trains just drive themselves. You do get a nice conversation from them though...
