To which type of train am I referring?

[Z12XE]

I have a news paper cutting which lists some of the users complaints about the type of unit used.

Using the quotes I post (and there are 5 in total, i'll add one at a time if people dont get it.)

The person who gets it wins (nothing)

the rolling stock reminds them of something from a post-war B movie.

Have fun

 

[westcoaster]

class 142

 

[Ascot]

150

 

[P156KWJ]

[Dennis]

[Z12XE]

Nope, nope, nope and nope.

Another Quote time, and honestly, I'm not making these up:

One of the most dangerous journeys undertaken by man in the western world.

 

[Nym]

Anything in Essex?

 

[laseandre]

310?

 

[Broken Viking]

Could it be a 370 with me at the controls?

 

[P156KWJ]

156?

 

[Z12XE]

Nope to any above

Another Quote:

Why are we bounced around as if we are on a trampoline?

 

[westcoaster]

a 153

 

[P156KWJ]

are you ABSOLUTELY SURE it isn't a 142? all the symptoms are there...

 

[CraigS]

A Slamdoor unit such as 411/421/423?

 

[Nym]

APT?
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
ie. 370, APT-E or APT-P

 

[Broken Viking]

APT?
ie. 370, APT-E or APT-P

I already suggested that about six posts before yours! :razz:
After all...Ye know what I'm like when it comes to anything APT related!
(What train am I driving in my avatar? )

Anyhow, back to the game itself I'm going to say Class 66s (Sheds)...They're designed and built in the United States, 'nuff said! hock::razz:

final quote:

a disaster, filthy, dangerous.

CraigS is the closest so far.

Class 121 on the Sudbury Branch line?

First Great Western?

Class 121 on the Sudbury Branch line?

Indeed, it was a news article from 10 years ago when 121s were used as a temporary stop gap whilst no other units were availble.

In all fairness, the 121s were hardly ever available due to their poor condition and sheer unrelilability.

Worst units ever
