The C and D stock on the Underground would have their lights flicker in certain sections too.

You didn't want the passengers to operate the lights on their own; you just made them unscrew the lightbulb.

You could cover the light from an oil lamp with a movable shade for the lantern - or just turn the gas down to the bare minimum.

Avanti ceases to exist soon.
