Could the rollout of EMR Class 810s have been done differently? What lessons could be learnt?

The MML would probably fit within a regional express sort of level. The 810s seem to have a lower spec than the 80x in general; so there is no way that, under a harmonised GBR, they could be compared to Azumas or Everos (which they would effectively be if the Intercity label were kept).

And there you have one of the issues with GBR standardisation. If there is a GBR IC offering and EMR doesn’t get the full spec as per the others the politicians will go nut.

and rightly so IMHO. One of the key arguments for 'nationalisation' is that it's 'too confusing' - standardisation is the only solution to confusing. Tho one must be careful what you wish for...
