I know its been discussed, but..... The Class 43's are 40 years old, and are still running a more intensive schedule than the class 373's, but the class 373's are being scrapped now? Seems silly.... Many places where they can be reused.

How about 324?

It would be far simpler if we had 1 or maybe 2/3 operators, who all use the same types of trains.... Guess who ruined that....

Does the new livery have the Part of Arriva ----> a DB company?

--NOT MY PHOTOS--- This image shows the outside... an IR4 and an IC3 This image shows the actaul gangway.... Just imagine how innovative it would have been if the UK had universal couplings to allow something like this....

I haven't read the thread, I am to busy playing with my new McK model trains... I am gonna go straight in and answer my opinion on the question... I am going to use Denmark as an example... In my opinion, Denmark's trains are pretty inovative (except the IC4... That is a not good train) I...

I think the lighting looks very airline'y....... Reminds me of BA on their A319's:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

Are the windows different now? I am sure it never went 3 sleeper like windows, into normal windows, but I am probably wrong...

So I guess we will see the new 57's on the NR from summer next year? -G

I here that East Anglia are to use sleeper coaches???

Could the cab ends be converted to a sort of DVT, considering their MK3 heritage... A DVT with seats inside, does make some sort of sense, for open access operators??

SPOTTED FGW BLUE SLEEPER COACH M6 at Junction 6, on the back of the lorry. Any ideas why? -G

Just google 'GNER MK2'

About time!

Is the new livery on any trains?

In a great world, HST's should replace 220's and 221's on long services such as PNZ to ABD. I still think people now are like 'More better trains' ... You will miss these spacious trains when they are gone ;-)

They will all be green, it is just who will make them green ;-)

I am sure this will be fixed when they enter service, I can't think they would leave it like that!!

I can't see the HST's going literally over night! I promise that there will be issues, like with most new trains, that will keep SOME HST sets in service past that time table change. Also I can't see all the wires being in place by that timetable change... It does not look as if it will...

We did this, when they did it on the GW, and it is like one of those things, you do once to show your kids what it is like, but never do it again because of how inconvinient it is. Also stock only fitted 3 or so cars, and was never viable.
