Surely the Bulleid Q1 was nicknamed the "Coffee pot"? I used to get a cab ride on one of those from Gypsy Hill to West Norwood on a regular basis. I also got brake van rides in "Dance halls" and Queen Marys'. Dance hall so called because of the size of the interior. Aparently.... ("Cor you could hold a dance in here", or similar comment I believe to get them the name) Queen Mary because the brake van was as "big as the Queen Mary". (A steamship) Used to get on at West Norwood and off at Crystal palace (Low level) early in the morning. Longest cab ride as a younster...Crystal palace to Balham. In a brake van...... Clapham Junction to Norwood junction. Never cabbed an EMU. (Electric multiple unit)
