They were f'in brilliant as you could open the door whilst it was coming into Waterloo and get a running start down to the tube. And each carriage had 8 doors on either side so there wasn't the scrum to get out of the 2 doors carriages have these days."See, you think I give a tulip. Wrong. In fact, while you talk, I'm thinking; How can I give less of a tulip? That's why I look interested."Comment
