    GWR Cornish Night Riviera Sleeper and GWR Class 57 updates from Long Rock

    If 67s were going to be used, then Long Rock redevelopment would be a waste of money as its for the 57 heavy maintenance. 67 topic now DEAD until at least 2021.

    Yes. Pics of final computer images on my Flikcr stream but these will be a while yet. 10232 will be replaced due to its structural condition though.

    GWR Cornish Night Riviera Sleeper and GWR Class 57 updates from Long Rock

    Outward opening door ? No more space to make bed especially the top one now the ladder is fixed at one end ! Thought the corridor would be retrimmed and recarpeted at least. Take it no carriage prints either !!

    GWR Cornish Night Riviera Sleeper and GWR Class 57 updates from Long Rock

    There have been changes since prototype berth/original pics were done. There may be more yet.... . Sliding door on wardrobe. Yet to see it in the flesh myself yet.

    GWR Cornish Night Riviera Sleeper and GWR Class 57 updates from Long Rock

    All I can say is that the designers have not listened to staff in all relevant departments or customers....... . Our job will be more difficult and take longer to prep the train. There is space under the bed and there is a separate configuration for seating on the bed. Sliding doors by the way...
