The question was raised as to whether any 'D' type
intermediate trailers for 3-car sets would be required in the 775 57' vehicles
and Mr.Gould explained that for future schemes it was felt desireable to
restrict the stock to 2-car sets, owing to their greater
availability. It was appreciated that the above figures are only a
broad allocation and the requirements will be adjusted as necessary as future
schemes are developed.
