    Yes.. certain train seats were less comfortable than the ones before but 700s are ALOT less comfortable. Any extra padding would be an improvement

    Lewes derailment - Thursday 13th August

    Thats my thought. If the front of the train went over that it would definately have been derailed aswell. I would say the embankment gave way under the train 1786642446 Sone really poor reporting as usual

    Plus also the fact that generally the public do not care. Im pretty sure theyd board any train regardless if it was green or not 1784461370 I was thinking the exact same thing yesterday. Should be an easy transition.

    Those units that dont have guarantees now say for example 150s, 156s, 158s and need regular repaints to keep corrosion at bay, will be interesting to see if they get full vinyl, just the base blue paint with vinyls or a full.paint job with all the detail.

    Youd think that most units with long paint warranties will get some kind of GBR branding applied and removal of current TOC names as a cost saver.
