Training run maybe? Did not look to be carrying passengers.

We don't always get a chance to look at all threads before posting a comment - especially if a reply is to a post we have just read. Certainly if I have read a post and decided to comment I do not check all other threads first - there is bound to be the occasional "confusion" as a result.

Or even buy one, sure IE shouldn't have any use with it and surely being good mates they should give it to NIR for free! They have no more work for it, and fitting it with gear for central locking would surely solve a short term problem. Sounds good to me but probably wont happen.

Also the Mk3 vans are sill in everyday use and the MK2 vans are vacuum braked (apart from being rotten) while the Gatwicks are air braked so apart from giving the IE engineers a good laugh it wouldn't achieve very much.

I can't see any reason why the Gatwicks couldn't run at 100mph but I think NIR have them restricted to 70mph like the 111s.

Sean Last time I checked it was IE 415V 3Phase, besides why would RPSI have one if it suplied 1000V DC?
