Arriva North West - Bootle Depot

RE: Arriva North West - Bootle Depot
Was (un)fortunate enough to take a ride on 7662 (V662 DVU) DartSLF/Marshall recently.

Awful thing! Rattling rear window, rattling emergency exit lever bar, dated interior with beige headlining and uncomfortable draughts.

MTL obviously bought these things on the cheap; all that glass means they're too hot in summer (like a greenhouse) and too cold in winter (draughty and chilly).
They're always rattling and the Marshall-spec bell-press modules (grey with red button) are always failing. They get replaced with yellow ones that actually work!

7662. Cheap. Nasty
