Well the prototype power car is on static display in the Grand Hall at the NRM, all the others are in service.

Well Dave I always thought the best thing about voyagers, apart from of course the horrible smell in the vestibules the rock hard bolt upright seats, the dam first class assistance alarm that plays throughout the whole train andthe funny looks you get off people when you can't keep still cause your ...

Death would result I think. Idiots, two damaged 170s and a voyager. What posses these people?
