Ah, I see. Thanks for demistifying this! (Speaking of which, will the windscreen have a demister or anything like that? ;D) Yes, LU are about to enter the 20th Century! The 'S' Stock will feature demisters.

Thanks for the detailed comments PRJB. I take your point on the second system counteracting the first ;D Perhaps I should rephrase that I'd like to see a back up system or at least somthing that will heat a cab before I get in it. It seems wasteful to run the "climate control of sorts" in the rear cab, but if it works thats fine. Again my cited example is the Olympia shuttle, where the cab doesn't have time to get warm (and that is with a passive heater going !) before you change cabs again. On current stock we would have the passive heater running in both cabs all the time I do take your point mate. The unit having dual redundancy should resolve most problems, and the fact that the rear cab settings will mimic the leading car should overcome the Olympia scenario. It is different than we do it now, and I think (hope?) that it will be an improvement.

Good to hear! Will it apply to the window in front of the driver only, or both sides?
Yet another use of leftover newspapers, lost!

Sorry, I should have said! 'S' will have demist on all forward facing windows (including the 'M' door).

Oh! Very good for anyone in the cab, then! No apologies needed- without you, we'd have no idea at all what's happening!
