    The 444s had one of those didn't they, it was for the guard though, not the passengers. LOL. They didn't use it much though 'cos it wasn't private enough. Double LOL.

    Sounds like some of the trendier offices I've worked in, to be fair.

    Looks like the new ECx Talgo trains are due to have kiddie compartments too, and they're so new they haven't been built yet.
