    What's with the comedy performance of the 180 in that vid ?, people say tours cause delays, I can't remember many with brakes like nails on a blackboard and needing to pull up 4 times.

    Brakes have always been like that. As for the stopping, that looks more of a human issue than a rolling stock one.

    I think he was posing the train for MrKnowWun's camera, making sure he got all the flattering angles. It is a nice-looking train :)

    Looks like a 5 car train only just fits and the driver misjudged his stopping point.

    He eventually managed to place it in just the right spot where his wipers could flick water at me.
