    My footage of then at Tigley, Hemerdon and Burlescombe with an appearance of an intercity power car which brings an early 90s feel to it. Enjoy.

    I was on this, it was a great day out. A few minutes late from WOS in the morning due to some issues hooking up the 50s electrics, but other than that everything went flawlessly.

    Saw a few faces at open droplights - was standing allowed in the vestibules?

    It was one of the hottest days of the year so far yesterday and, being sealed Mk 2s, some of the coaches did feel very warm at times. People would go to stand in the vestibules and let the fresh air blowing in through the door windows cool them down. When you're in Mk2s and it's just so hot outside a little flexibility has to be demonstrated, and thankfully yesterday it was.

    Thanks for your reply, and glad you had a good day. Good to hear that common sense prevailed, especially with the Mk2s not having the opening vents of the Mk1s.
