Novelty value
1. It's a diesel
2. It sails straight through Peterborough
Aside from that, how does it compare with Virgin Trains East Coast?

Breakfast and evening meal not as good as VTEC.
Free wifi throughout.
More legroom in airline style seats.

They both travel to Hull which will be the place to be in the coming months and years.

I travelled from London to Doncaster by Hull Trains recently and thoroughly enjoyed the experience, smooth, quiet and comfortable. It really did seem exceptionally quick without a Peterborough stop.

When they are working well, there's nothing to beat Class 180s in my opinion.

I went to Hull with them in September last year.

Comfortable seats, friendly crew, smooth ride, punctual (arrived Hull 4E). It was great.
