180 emerges from refurb

[MCR247]

To avoid dissapoint (sorry for spelling) I will have to wait til more are out of refurb, so there s more chances of getting on one!

The magazine a couple of months ago said FC moved to one end, powerpoints throughout train, wifi, kitchen, electronic displays inc seats and revamp of cafe bar - don't know if it's being moved though.

I would have thought first class would have been moved to one end but if you look at the picture the first class stripe is at the top of the second car from the end.

That looks great although strange because i think the dynamic livery looks quite bad on the FGW 125 sets. Is that the sole surviving FGW 180 i thought they were all going to be displaced to Northern.

It's with First Hull Trains, not FGW. All 180s have left FGW now.

Looking at the picture close up, through the windows, it does actually look like it has Grammar seats (as fitted to FGW)

Looks good. But would look better in Load Haul.

What an odd number, seems a bit random. Why not 180101?

Also are Hull Trains going to get 180112 or are they going to have odd number too?

GC are also taking 112 i've heard...

Has any onespoke to HT yet about when they will enter service, and there first service?

 

[whoshotjimmi]

It certainly looks outstanding. I am a big fan of the dynamic lines livery and it suits the adelante perfectly. The mock GC livery I saw the adelante in looked superb also. Can't wait to see them thundering down the ECML - if they can get them working.

I wrote you all off as mad for saying it could possibly look nice, as I'm far from a fan of first liveries. They all look like an accident with puke.

But on looking at the photos, it does actually suit the shape of the unit very well...

Interior looks like the same seats as FGW HSTs have - Grammer?

That seems to be taken seriously on this forum lol

Oh dear, the seats on the 180s arnt to bad, I think the livery looks great although I think it would look even better on a 390....

 

[First ScotRail]

The seats in that picture look quite high on the window, higher than old 180 seats. May be wrong though...

 

[devon_metro]

Yes, and it looks like they curve round at the top (the metal bit) and have a holder for safety info.
