Yairs indeed - many hands will be wrung, many pearls clutched before this is over.
Between Birmingham and here there’ll be a lot of interest in what’s being done from other Urbos 3 users, and since the initial repairs done in Birmingham broke again they’ll want to understand exactly where and how the stress loads are causing the breaks, and many operators would, you’d think, be interested in what pre-emptive modifications can prevent it happening.
I also reckon other builders of rigid truck articulated cars will be looking at their own products for potential problems like these. And despite claiming otherwise, I doubt CAF has got this entirely worked out.

Questions like: "If we touch this, what does it do to our legal liability?" might take weeks...or months of wrangling between lawyers of all parties. The actual work for an individual tram might only take a relatively short time compared to legal riffle.
