Just propel the stock up from Loughborough central, push the gangways together, passengers walk through and into the GCR(N) train buffered up on the other end. Simple!

Bet you couldn't do that with a Pacer ?

 

you could try, what's the worst can happen? A Pacer in the river.?

 

How long before enquiries are made about repatriating it to form the basis of the operating fleet on the L***N and D******** ?
