this machine was in front of us recently at the Edinburgh Airport shout. Was shocked to see the ammount of smoke from her as she pulled away to head for home.

Where is the economic sense (not being a bean counter, honest) in buying TLs of this age to replace a "newer" TL (the H reg Dodge that used to run from Tolcross) and the M reg ALP? There must be alternatives such as the Strathclyde ALPs that are being displaced by CARPs? Some of them are P-S regs?

Scott, the fact of the matter is at the moment, these appliances are really reliable, unlike as Ronnie mentioned M473SSX was realy unreliable. Also these TL's were available at that time and as such were just what LBFRS needed until their CARP's come on the run.
