Regards Clive Smith.
Many thanks Clive - I think all rail enthusiasts regret the passing of 'Slam door stock' with drop down windows with the photographic opportunities they provided. I think we all also regret the introduction of cramped high backed seats and consequent reduction in visibility. I suppose it is progress??
