Rather typical RMT▸ (National Union of Rail, Maritime & Transport Workers).

Is it my imagination, of has the list of demands changed quite a bit? And while it's not strictly IEP▸ (Intercity Express Program / Project. This will offer more capacity on routes, save money, give a consistent and safe service and meet customer requirements. Intended to replace HSTs.), how is the fitting of extra door controls to 155/6s likely to be seen by GWR▸ (Great Western Railway)? (I presume to add guard's controls at some of the doors.)

I assume a typo means 165/6s?
Te biggest sticking point, I suspect...

I'm pretty sure guards controls are being added to Turbo's heading west anyway, so no big sticking point.  The other option would be to make no modifications and run them as LTV▸ (London [and] Thames Valley) does when not under DOO▸ (Driver-Only Operation (that is, trains which operate without carrying a guard)) operation (driver operates doors under guards instruction), but that would prevent them stopping at stations with short platforms.  The location of panels might need to be discussed with the unions - for example at each set of doors/just from the rear cab or at one set of doors per coach.
