Silly question why does it take a crew of carmen and electricians to accomplish a simple uncoupling move when the most that would be needed in the UK to do the same job is a single passenger shunter or the secondman where one exists. I suspect that the Unions are making work for themselves here!! ;-) <br /> <br />That said, its still at least one more wage packet and adds to the cost of loco haulage although the lack of flexibity with fixed formation trains must have a long term cost - HSTs with 7 passenger vehicles replaced trains of up to 14 in the summer on North East - South West services and the overcrowding was horrendous - its not so bad now as people don't travel by train. <br /> <br />As to Mr Bransons 4 car Voyagers (Vibrators!) replacing the already attenuated 7 coach formations well - I need say no more. It said nothing about passenger comfort in the low priced tender for the stock!!
