Would you mind explaining to me this 'icebreaker'? :P

Class 185 to Blackpool.

During winter weather water vapour can freaze on the OHLE reulting it trams unable to draw traction so during the night operators run special icebreaker units to break the ice and create heat on the wires. The units are usually fitted with a more hard wearing pantograph. 3036 will be joined with the UK's first second generation tram to be turned into a departmental vehicular, 1025.

Class 158 to York

Bakerloo Line does not go to bank. The Waterloo and City Line or the northern Line could be used to get to Bank (change at Kennington if using the Northern Line)
