    Why are trains so poorly built and full of so many problems and faults these days?

    Definitely a case of rose tinted glasses! Just a few I can think of Ride issues with MK4 coaches when built Same with MK1 on original BR1 bogies Random door openings on MK3 and issues with brake smells coming into seating areas Bogie cracking affecting Deltic (and class 37?) Many 1st Gen DMU...
