i agree Riga.
Not Quite. They were rewired from anything outside the pressure bungs (all the way in where necessary), but most of the internal wiring remained. Lots of Nyvin and lots of soldered connections too.
The first C1 arrived in Bournemouth in 1991 and any problems with the original wiring had to be replaced like with like. A lot of it had seen better days then and best left alone if possible. If they needed re-wiring then, I imagine that they will need a serious look at now.
