    Shortest/Cheapest IEP Journey

    Ideally yes, but I wouldn’t mind coming back on a different route/to a different station if needs be. Happy only using an IEP one way!

    Shortest/Cheapest IEP Journey

    Happy with standard class, from what I’ve heard, first class isn’t that much of an upgrade on a GWR IEP!

    Shortest/Cheapest IEP Journey

    I’m in London for a couple of days and would like to try out an IEP while I’m here. What’s the cheapest and/or quickest means of doing this? I know there’s no guarantee which services will be run with an IEP but can keep an eye out if I know what route to look for! Thanks :D

    GWR operating short 'HSTGTi' sets (see diagrams section for workings)

    I'm also unfamiliar with this, could someone explain please? Once again demonstrating how out of touch I am here! Does this mean that the CrossCountry HST's are getting similar modifications (CET's & power doors)? I hadn't heard of any plans to upgrade CC's fleet.

    East Midlands stock being used by Virgin East Coast

    I was at Kings Cross yesterday and happened to spot an East Midlands HST power car in one of the platforms.
