I can't believe that Ready Power "thoroughly clean the cabs". I haven't seen
a clean cab for more than a year. That 6 inch black mark around the bottom
of the walls is still there. FreightCorp maintenance staff and cleaners
don't have any particular attitude against 82's, they couldn't give a shit
about all the locos.

I could quite believe the condition of the cabs. When you have 2 people in
them 24 hours a day, getting in and out in all types of weather, traipsing
through mud and grease before getting into the cab. For other locos they
have have to go through filthy enginerooms covered in oil and grease, which
then gets spread through the cab. Then when the cleaners do their usual
shitty job, well.... that's what you get.
