Some interesting things out of that article - it said that "81 cars will be
in service by 2001"

How can there by 81 cars in service? Will they be three-car sets, with a
total of 27 sets in service? Or do they subscribe to bad maths?


It also stated that "another first will be fold-away seats in the vestibule
areas, to create more seats for wheelchair-bound passengers."

Why is this a first - it is already happening in all CityDecker refurbished
motor cars - of both suburban and interurban varieties.
