Some of the carriages on the W set are over 40 years old. At present there
are too many legal problems to run the manual door single deckers. If it
wasn't for the W set with it's automatic doors, no single deck cars could
run on tours.

In a few years time, someone's going to have to start preserving the
standard double deckers on S sets too. (If they can last that long!)
