Hi, Can anyone confirm if this would valid on XCs voyagers between CNM and BHM. Cheltenham to Bromsgrove 7 day season (Via Worcester) and a Bromsgrove to Birmingham 7 day season. Looking at it I would think not but has coursed a debate?

Having just stepped off an 737-800 with its great all LED sky interior and thought why can't trains have this. During cruising it can display dimmer colour mood lights but can...
