Class 180 interior shots

[387star]

Hi does anyone have interior photos of Grand Central class 180s?? I have heard these have been refurbished but have seen no photos anywhere nor any details of the refurbishment aside from external relivery.

Photos of refurbished First Hull Trains units also welcome. Plus why is it taking so long to finish this refurbishment? only 113 is in the new First livery... this has been the case for a long time now.

On the subject of First, have Capital Connect finished the class 317 refurb yet? How is it going with the remaining 319/4s.. and ex Southern units? cheers

PS on the subject of refurbishment still no ATW 153 interior shots with new seats?

Also really wanting East Coast mk4s new livery!!

I think it was due to the poor reliability of the 180s in their early days with Hull Trains. On several occasions they were without units due to breakdowns, so I doubt there was enough cover for one being out of service for refurbishment. Additionally, 113 was never fully refurbished, it just had a temporary 'refresh' with new seat covers and carpets. I believe Hull Trains have just hired in an additional 180, suggesting that a more comprehensive refurbishment may take place.

GC haven't refurbed the 180's, they have simply added GC stuff inside...

Some of these shots show what's happened...
