Perhaps it was because it had an enclosed cabin, with a roof and windows. The Welsh only had cattle trucks to commute in until then.

Only of interest to Gricer.

Fifty year old train still in service as BR Class 121 rumbles along the Cardiff Bay line

I'm not altogether sure that I care a lot, but there you go.
