    To be honest, your average multi over the years has never been far from a bus on rails.

    I used to regularly get on one from Oldield Ark to Keynsham & it had cigarette stubbers on the back of the seats.

    It also used to change gear! I've never been on anything else on the rails with an audible gear change.

    If you are cleanish e.g. had shower in the last 24 hours it decreases the smell as well.

    I only realised many people didn't wash their clothes because as a student I couldn't work out why my housemates didn't stink after doing heavy exercise but some other people did in the gym when they started exercising.

    I could not conceive of doing some hard exercise and then going anywhere in public without showering

    it is barbaric and antisocial..

    but I do find the lycra clad crowd are so holier than thou as they are exercising you see so they should not have to worry about that]

    Normally one is grateful it's not a Class 14X.

    Though the Class 150 is a close rival.
    Isn't that the Pacer?

    Took a ride in one of those from Gloucester to Maesteg a few weeks ago.

    Progress eh? Bring back metro cammell.
