Brilliant idea, and when you need to evacuate the train because it is on fire? :roll:

He means the ends of each carriage, not the whole unit. It'd effectively be no different to the current use of Mk1 hauled stock on charters.455driver said:
Indeed.
That said, I'm sure the centre doors on LU's wooden bodied stock aren't locked out of use, so I still don't entirely see why the health and safety brigade would insist on this for the VEP.

LUL's 4-TC is Mk. 1 based, and all doors are in use IIRC.
The wooden-bodied Jubilee coach, and the Bluebell's Chesham-set used last January, are non-gangwayed compartment stock, so all doors had to be in use.
If it's safe on a wooden bodied compartment carriage, it's safe on a VEP.

Didn't they have a steward in each individual compartment on the Met carriage though? You'd need a lot of stewards to cover a VEP...

One Steward per carriage whilst running Olympia-Edgware Rd-Moorgate, two per compartment when running H-o-t-H-Amersham/Uxbridge, IIRC.
4-TC had a Steward per coach.
