These so called Nodding Donkeys which can also have excessive flange squeal on tight curves were based on a Leyland bus body, are one of British Rails worst designs. They were built to be cheap and use bus parts. The idear was to only use them for little used short services, but they have also been used for longer distance services.

There used to be two stations in Lincoln, The Great Northern's Lincoln Central and the Midland railways Lincoln St Marks. Unlike some towns and villages, these stations were right in the middle of the town. Both stations were lest than a mile apart, and both stations had level crossings near to the end of the platforms on the main High street. Today Lincoln Central is the only station at Lincoln. This still has a level crossing on the main High street.
