Two Desiros intended for South West Trains seen coupled together at the Open Day at the Wildenrath Test Centre of Siemens on 25 August 2002. Unlike in other european countries, gangways between the cab ends seem still to be preferred in the UK. This might be useful, but it causes a bad view for the driver. Note the third rail shoes at the bogies for operation with 750 V DC.
