This is what gave birth to the Pacers...it really is a railbus!

"a joint venture between Leyland and BR to combine the worst features of rail and bus."

I recall working with this heap of S**** when it waas on the Severn Beach line in the 1980's. i was relief signalman sometimes covering Dock Junction and the perishing thing didn't work track circuits properly so we haad to wait until it arrived at Lawrence Hill in the Down direction before we could get 'train arrived complete' from the panel. Consequently, until this had happened, nothing could follow the LEV1 from Avonmouth. I'll send the website some pix of the horrible R3 on Avonmouth runs later.
