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.
As at 1100, 596 in set for tonight's up (Thurs). Not booked for customers but customers will be shown around etc. Bed layout not correctly set up yet, and feel free to criticise corridor walls..... .602 is loco.
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 !!
Colas anybody..... . Would be nice if we could have them for the GWR NR as would a pair or 2 37s but really......then some would say with a possable 6 mainline registered, lets have a Castle..... . Sorry but its 57s until at least 2020 !

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.
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...
