Hmmm, that's a toughie. I'm actually fortunate to have rode all the post-war R equipment with exception to the R16 and the R21. In all honesty, I prefer the older equipment from a commuter's point of view for the fact that they were always reliable when properly maintained and always got you to where you had to go. Now don't get me wrong, I do like the R142's and the R143/160's but somehow, if the on-board computer fails, then you're not going anywhere whereas the SMEE's and AMUES just have some stuff moved about and you're on your way. Of course we can't avoid modernization but IMHO, the old equipment is more reliable.ALP 44 |
