I believe the original plan was to run the 4-car 1938TS in public
service, but the unions refused to allow it and LU was unable to
persuade them.


Why did they object? Was it to be driven by a non-union member?


It wasn't union objections (though they were looking closely at
running the '38 last week), but more that it couldn't stop at Canada
Water because of the floor height differences.
