Cabview's

What cabview's have you been in?
Me - Virgin Voyager twice, class 57 and class 390 virgin pendolino

Me- class 142 Northern and class 220 voyager.

class 220 voyager

it a nice cab in it

Yes it's better then some.

In no particular order: 390, 57, 47, 185, 323, 171, 158, 156, 89, 91, 31, 55, 373 ( ) and I think that's it. Oh and an 08.

Standard 4 76079 and Class 86 Les Ross
I have looked inside a 158 cab and a class 150 cab

Me - none.
Although I did have a peek inside a 508 cab when the driver was driving and left the door open.
And the same for a Networker, I just happened to be sitting within view of the main cab and controls!

I've had a peek in side a number of cab's i quite like the 185 and the 91 (National Express)

Brilliant loco, never been on it's footplate but despached it a couple of times, great engine

@ryan, do the Southeastern 508s have that big daft, heavy slidey cab door like the mersey ones do?

We went on the Cambrian Steam Specials in 2005 and just happened to be staying at the same hotel in Machynlleth as the driver. We got to know him a bit and he let us on the footplate when he saw us at Porthmadog

I would love to go on the footplate of a steam loco in my opinion there's no better train them a steam loco.

Yep. The southeastern 508s are (soon to be 'were' ) Merseyrail units, they were renumbered from 508101/105/106/107/109/113/116/119/121/129/132/133 to 508201-212 inclusive.

The door often was left open as the locking mechanism was faulty most of the time!

lol, It's brilliant watching the guards every time they wanna get into the back cab wrestling with a huge slidey door that looks like it weighs a ton Why don't they just replace them with proper cab doors?
