That cool wall's cooler than mine!

Not sure about choppers being sub-zero; what's cool about not being able to see where you're going half the time or having wheels so underpowered you need to bring along another?

Cause they sound very sweet & you cant see anything when driving nose forwards.............It's fun.

First time I looked at the cool wall I thought it said class 29's which I thought was a tad odd as I believe they were not the best things out.

Contradiction much? :p

You'll do well to notice I put in brackets that I HAD thought I had never heard of it. When I read your earlier post, I saw the words 'Top Gear' and 'Cool Wall' then I remembered seeing (if not hearing it) on the programme once.

:p

Should I take it that you won't be out seeing the 20s when they come through Trowbridge in April then? ;)

442s uncool?
444s cooler than 442s?

WTF!

Hey hey, I agree with him on that one. I can't stand 442s. 444s are cooler. Crikey, you've only got to have been on one in the middle of a hot day and be instantly relieved of the heat to know that. Try doing the same on a hot September afternoon on a 442...

Besides, 444s have much swisher looks than a 442.

I travel on a Voyager every morning to work (albeit for a 6/7 min journey) and I have never smelled anything of the sort. Before I started driving I also used to use them most weekends for a 1h30m journey and never had any problems of the sort.

444s are crap!
They're often TOO cold.
The seats are thin and hard.
SWT keep breaking them.
They're squeaky little pussies of trains.

Better than 450s. There's nothing worse than turning up at something-past-five in the morning and a 450 pulls in. If you did fall asleep on one of those then you'd wake up with far worse back ache than if you had a 444.

I said that on the wall I think. 450s seriously uncool, but 444s were just uncool.

But still, neither of them are anything compared to a 442!
