Get used to it! Here are the specifications of the Class 150:
*Windows don't close - making it deafening at 75mph and bonechilling in Winter
*Heating is always on - you make like the way the trains are roasty toasty at the moment when you get on, but just wait until summer!
*No A/C - open windows don't help when the train is sat in the station, sun blazing in
*Exhaust fumes dispersed into passenger saloons (this feature is only available on selected units)
*Some units cannot go above 50mph (source: CT driver when taking a cab ride)
*Toilets - don't go there (literally)
*Try patting the seats - actually don't or else you'll send a cloud of 10 year old dust all over the carriage
*Doors between carriages don't work on selected models
*Inaudible
PA▸ , no
PIS▸ *Three versions of the West Midlands Network map visible
*Some of the safety notices are HANDWRITTEN
*It is possible to prise the doors open at 75mph
I have witnessed someone else do this*No door controls throughout train, leading to delays
*They struggle up gradients and were BANNED from the Lickey incline in the latter days of CT (due to woeful/non existent maintenance). This ban has since been lifted after Tysely gave each engine a bash with a sledgehammer.
*Despite
LM▸ 's best efforts, the 10 years of CT's "no cleaning" policy left their mark!
But hey - they get people from A to B.
