Had a really geeky thought last night, thing is I don't know the answer..
So are the Cross Country HST cabs the standard fare (East Coast, EMT etc) or do they now have APT, or something similar, therein changing the instrument layout?

PS: so sorry for asking this boring drivel:lol:

I assume they'll be the same as East Coast's as they went through the same specification refurb at Brush.

The Cross Country cabs are exactly the same layout as the East Coast ones except XC have a plug socket under the NRN, the old style flip down sun visors and have yet to be fitted with GSM-R radios (although they are ready to be). East Coast also have an improved train crew communication system as well as the old where as XC just have just the old ones. XC don't have ATP, that's just FGW. Hope this helps :)
