As we all know, trains have interiors designed for the services they will run, but occasionally, trains arrive on these services that they aren't meant for, like a Class 375 replacing a Class 465. That made me think: what would be the most ridiculous refurbishment of a train, taking into consideration its routes?

Here's my example: what about the Eurotunnel car shuttles with Grammer IC3000s (from GWR HSTs) arranged in a 3+3 configuration?

All train seats in all trains to be placed 2 metres apart to apply social distancing. Lines on the ground to signify where to stand when queuing to leave the train.
The premium Heathrow Express seats almost met that!

Back to back HST power cars with one guards compartment fitted out with a single big chair. A rail sports car.
