When the original MCW Metroliners were delivered they came with 80-seats ... and virtually no lugage accommodation. Carlyle Works, among others, was asked to advise and carry out urgent conversions so that passengers luggage could be carried. This shows their conversion of Shamrock and Rambler 3120 (A120 KFX). I cannot now recall whether this was eventually replaced by a more satisfactory arrangement. Note some of the limitations placed on the customers.
