    That would be good.. at a slightly reduced fare.
    Many times my then wife and I would travel on a sold out Torbay Express and stand by a window out and back. The operators (Past Time Rail back then..) would then have another 2 seats to sell thus making more money..

    It was a serious idea, something that would sell more seats and please the window-hanging crew... If only....

    OK but...... we are not 'supposed' to hang out of windows... Yes I know that you actually mean just standing by the open window don't you.

    What we need is stock like this, best view starts at 1.25. Oh dear, just noticed the electric on the back, I wonder how much froth that creates??
