    I was wondering if you could furnish me with a bit of information, Zeity, seeing as you are our man on the ground in the Arriva Trains Wales region of the network.

    Could you tell me if they are still running bubble car DMUs out of Cardiff Queen Street?

      A picture is worth a thousand words.

      And Cardiff Queen Street is a bit off my patch.



      Nicknamed “bubble cars” for some unfathomable reason Class 121 single-car driving motor vehicles were built from 1960, rattling along with a top speed of 70 mph.

      Last day of service was the morning of 09/05/13 121032 and it was removed from Cardiff on a low loader the same day bound for Tyseley - gawd help them !

        Where have you been all my life?

        We could have made a great pair if I'd been that way inclined.

        Just imagine - both of us stood on the platform of Cardiff Queen Street savouring the characteristic rasping sound produced by a class 21 DMU as its engines pick up to a certain level of rpm....

            No, he knows you're not a boy, although I think he wishes you were.

            He's also not real but we still indulge him anyway

                  I have no clue, on an anonymous forum, why anyone feels the need for multiple personalities (but i'm sure someone will pop along to enlighten me )
