    What efficiencies could GBR bring?

    Yes, slightly disappointed its not more in depth about specific train types with estimated withdrawl or refurbishment dates etc. Also nothing clear about branding/interior schemes. Intetesting was the mention of 4 train families "Intercity, Regional Express, Commuter and Metro".. an...

    Great British Railways - First Train in New Livery

    Yes theyll only reliver trains when they are due to be done except for 1 unit per "TOC" the DfT said. I guess the paint guarantee on the SE 375s has got more time to run.

    Great British Railways - First Train in New Livery

    Great British Railways - First Train in New Livery

    Exactly. I do however think during privatisation there should have been more default / universal liveries to avoid the extra cost im painting trains if they were to change operators. Theres been alot of silliness over the years.. great eastern had about 6 different liveries on its units at one...

    'Upgraded' GWR IET seats

    Thats why its flipping ridiculous that we even need to complain about the seats. They should already be good enough.

    I think its still quite loud for every coach to have that
