    Which stations used to have "cab roads"? Do any still have them?

I can think of: - Paddington - Victoria - Kings Cross - St Pancras (I think?) - Edinburgh Waverley - York - Liverpool Lime...

    Grand Central 180s - do they all have the same interior layout?

    Do all the GC 180s (I believe there are 10) have the same interior layouts? I mean not just numbers of seats, but position of seats relative to windows, tables, size and type of seat etc. Or are they different from one another? I was wondering if the ex-GWR ones are different from the oes that...

    There's a few threads on here about ORCATS, referring to it being a BR creation. But I can't see anything specifying when it was introduced by BR. Does anyone know? ORCATS = Operational Research Computerised Allocation of Tickets to Services (according to Wikipedia).
