I think there's a great deal more understanding about lighting color temperature nowadays not to mention an awful lot of moaning done not just on forums like this but in the more upper class newspapers that passengers paying stupidly high fairs to travel on some of these routes felt like they...
Must be quite a cushy number for drivers with a full license but who have had enough of or for some reason can no longer do passenger or private higher work in the same way as they once did
Already long since mastered that particular technique
Although truth be told for Inverness at the moment I would fly if I wanted anywhere south of Newcastle or Carlisle
The new grand Union open access from sterling will be interesting particularly if at least some of them connect quite...
This is going off topic of it but I wonder if the LNER fleet gets new seats or current ones are substantially upgraded as has been discussed elsewhere on this forum if the number of people using the sleeper on some of the longer runs may drop slightly, like yourself I certainly could not do...
I started an srps thread in here the other day, I'm sure we could discuss this further in there, not least because I was unaware that they had decided to not go ahead with see the l fitment and therefore no longer have mainline registered stock...
Anyone looking just for a day trip I would thoroughly recommend the Birkenhead Belfast ferry where the fares do very slightly as they are yield managed but the price of other services such as food and accommodation on board are fixed and The cabins of extremely reasonable both in terms of price...

Unless they took your order as you boarded I can't imagine them having time to serve a hot meal between York and Newcastle if I'm honest
Also on many services there is a complete staff change at Newcastle and the departing team are often packing up by the time you get to Durham
The 25 CL 158s that were at the time allocated to Inverness and got a very heavy refurbishment in first ScotRail days were absolutely brilliant and remain so to this day, not least because the horrible Richmond seating was disposed of and these same seats were reupholstered in the later fleet...
This was certainly the thought process that I went through when this came up
I did find myself on a bus about 18 months ago with an srps member who said something about vacuum retention toilet fitment also being looked at but again this isn't cheap and I somehow can't imagine the electrical...
Well theres a shedload of MK5 with increasingly little work to do, wouldn't be difficult I shouldn't think to strip the current interior and fit compartments
can't find any other threads discussing this in any detail but my attention was caught in the WCRC monster discussion by a little dialogue between
@d1630
And
@paul1609
About the ongoing and potential future situation at SRPS railtours, I have rather cac handedly quoted the two posts in...
