although the manchester victoria to bury line is less than 11 miles long, the trains had through corridor connections from end to end. passengers were not provided with any means of stopping the train in an emergency, but could at least move into an adjacent carriage! large emergency windows were provided, hinged at the top and opening outwards, a feature which the trains seem to have shared with the "fireproof" train developed by the lyr in 1914. there was no emergency lighting. the trains carried an oil lamp front and rear: the lamp at the front was in the centre when the train was carrying passengers and on the nearside of the buffer beam when it was working empty.
