My lordz!

That 10 car fast set sounds like an F1 car :p

The thing is!

If you could do h/o on the following 319s/317s/321s They would all sound just like the 442 in the video. So why all the fuss over EMU scream when most other EMUs do it!

I'd personally rather see a 47 and Mk2 Coaches.

But we know that's not going to happen.

442 just plain suck. 444s are marginally better.

Huh 47's are on again?:booty:

Nah...444s qualify as decent traction in this instance as they are the superior unit to the 442s!

And you lot were making a fuss on Saturday, 10 booked to run on Monday...To think people wasted time going for the 'final' day when it wasn't the final day...

I said the 442s not because they "scream" - nor because you can lean out of the windows, but because they retained compartments (albeit in 1st class) and because the "buffet area" has a very bar-like, casual feel with seats arranged around tables, perfect for groups, and, other passengers permitting, space to stretch out if needed.

There is if it can be replaced by better stock, which makes them now redundant ;)

Sure,Sure, If 442s are the most Reliable DC EMU there is,
everytime i saw a 444, I stuck my middle finger on them for my entertainment :toothy4:

So long live the 442s

No, because as pointed out earlier, guys like Chelsea fans (chatted to loads Sat Night) can no longer go up to the game from Dorchester & Poole & travel all sat togethor drinking beer, let alone talking about the game & doing there mothly raffle! They were very upset when I told them they would not be sat like that after the next few days to come

Ok i'v been thinking this for a while and hopefully i can get a better answer from this forum.

Plane spotters, take pics of anything that flys write number of anything that flys etc...

Train spotters, specific rules and regs on what to take or what to not take or else you get called a ned...

Note all 444 fans, omega3 stated that 360s are better than 442s, I do not agree with this, but 360s are better than 444s, as they are away from DC metals. :)
