This is the area updates or commentary can be posted regarding the class 387s of GWR but specifically the HeX refurbishment process and the nature of the layout etc and eventually the introduction into service of these units.
Confirmed:
-New Wi-Fi
-Televisions in the coaches
-2+2 Standard with 1+2 First (implied non-ironing board config.)
-Extra luggage rack space
-Generally more luxurious details.
Expect a class 185 style revamp that could look nice with wood/chrome accenting. There is so much space for creativity in train interiors. Mood lighting is a good idea and for HeX is a realistic proposition given the lighting in the 332s.
Since the HeX is the UK’s most expensive train per mile and the least used by regular passengers, I can understand if there is a lack of interest for it on here but I thought I would add the obligatory 387 status update page.
So far: 387 unit 140 is confirmed at Ilford in old green livery undergoing the refurbishment.
