I think the 390 First Class is the best but I like the MK4 First too. The worst or most disappointing would be that of the TSGN or Southeastern Electrostars to me, or on the Class 745

It's a shame they cannot use the many ex EMR and WMT 153s lying about off-lease. A train with no disabled toilet is better than no train at all, and they would be coupled to 150/156/158s no?

Might as well forget the hunt for it then. There’s no need to use stored units at the moment as the 720 rollout is progressing so well - eight or nine pairs out when I was in London last Monday. Oh well, it was close :)

Make it 8, because Avanti West Coast still use it on the Voyagers, although they’re applying blue vinyls now

People will no doubt say Dynamic Lines but I should just clarify the versions seen on Hull Trains, First Great Western and First Capital Connect were all different

as a heads up, iris2 Tiger is now redundant and will soon be removed from the internet - you can continue to check carriage numbers for 720s on Tiger Worldline Global :)

I do think that’s only an embarrassing situation if you make it one. It’d be nice to think most major companies weren’t that petty.

Before COVID, fasts on the Portsmouth Direct Line were booked entirely 450 on Saturdays, while the majority of Portsmouth via Basingstoke services were 444.

It should have been a white stripe and then red, separating the white and purple neatly. As it is, it’s just white which is wrong because the Mark 3 carriage starts with red. It sounds pernickerty when I say it but it looks odd.

I think it’s a shame to go to all that effort only for it to clash horrendously with the Virgin red :lol:

Oh dear, I was offered a picnic tray on a Pendolino in first leaving Edinburgh - not sure she realised I was alighting at Haymarket. I’m ashamed to say I accepted it with delight, didn’t have to pick up lunch then! :oops::lol:

Completely subjective and I know for a fact I would not be the only one to disagree enormously

No doubt all set to be painted into some ghastly pre-privatisation livery like many of them are

Thanks

Does anyone know exactly which CAF units have been temporarily withdrawn, please?

I love the Compin seated Electrostars (375 and 377/1-5) although the 377/5s need a clean and I don’t like the new 387 style PIS being fitted to the 377s in the Southern refurbishment. 379s are quite nice, better than a 387. 357s are a bit too pink. 376s aren’t great but I’d take one over a...

Surely that's for the photographer to do? Some people do love to have their two-pennyworth... :rolleyes: anyway, for those who did not see it, the HST power car was not yet completed and it looked like the logo had not yet been applied, so a bit longer to go before it's ready. It will clash a...

and indeed there is a great deal of space between your seat and the one in front, meaning there will likely be some window view wherever you sit, particularly as the seats at coach ends with no view are now luggage storage.

I’ve noticed that as well

Very sad indeed. May he rest peacefully.
