Happy memories of driving these units and ED. Good instructor too may I add. Thanks for showing video

I've had many a past experience of working push pull in the past. For the down trip I was explaining the various driving techniques whilst assuring I was up to speed myself on the latest speed restrictions. Return trip I was observing and carrying out an assessment on the driver in the seat.
