I Understand from a GWR newsletter that the internal refurbishment of the Turbos has been signed off with work due to start imminently.
This is great news because the 166s are a disgrace internally and possibly the shabbiest trains on the network. Most of the tables are covered in unsightly marks etchings or are sticky to the touch! Many hopper windows will not close and there is the wonderful clash of green carpet and pink and blue seats!
Hopefully the refurbishment will be up to standard ! I have no idea if new seats will be fitted.
