Travelled a bit in the last month and found train aircon varies widely.
Worst was a GWR HST which had 4 out of 8 coaches with failed aircon (on a 30c day). The best have been class 395s. Coming back from London last night was heaven.
OK many classes not travelled on but such as class 378 and S stock seemed poor. I suppose this is due to the frequent door opening and them remaining open for a while. The class 395 doors shut automatically after less than 10 seconds.
