Note at the extreme left, the metal 'lock-out'panel sticking out from the van. This has small windows in it to allow a view forwards and backwards along the train with having to stick your head out of a window - much safer.
The one on the other side is missing, and some workers are in the process of removing it so that a replica can be made. (30/04/2024)
