Interesting thread. SMHarman's conjecture is slightly wide of the mark, the UBR is actually in an central head-end way above the cabs in the hierarchy. They can serve thousands of customers so putting one in a cab would be a waste of capacity (and easy to nick - the chassis is generic and quite expensive).
