319.429 interior

Not sure if this has been reported but DTCO 77847 has been retrimmed in LM green (like some of the 350's). None of the other coaches have been done so looks rather odd, yet better than the old FCC moquette

The second coach has had about 10 seats done too.

Has been like it since they came to us, they intended to do all of them like this but ran out of material!

That's one that I've traveled on with LM from St Albans Abbey to Watford Junction (in November so I was surprised that it wasn't a bus ) and I just went for the front coach because there was no-one else in there (everyone else went for the coaches closest to the entrance) so I just assumed that they'd done them all that way. I got a photo which I've attached if anyone's interested (sorry about the rotation - I can't seem to get it the right way round).

I didn't see the 10 seats in the other coach, but then I did walk through the train quickly....

Surprising that they've bothered to repaint the handles (and also those funny shaped things on top of the seats which are only added when the PRM mods are done).

I would bet good money that if Southeastern do get their hands on some they will be running with FCC interiors until the day they are withdrawn. Might mean the last of the Eddie Pond murals are preserved if they get 319/0s though...

Very nice shade of green there - quite warm and inviting

Thank you, that's what struck me. But I don't think the extra luggage space is needed now; surely the original seat(s) can be put back to help with capacity issues in the peak?
