Apparently gave the covers a deep clean then put them back on

Do the 180s have board games embossed onto the tables like their HSTs?

Excellent. It's a nice little feature.

The ends have less passenger accommodation, so rather than have 1 end and 1 composite (which would have been more sensible) they chose to go with 1 intermediate coach.

I was hoping they would be refurbished, possibly at the same time as the 180s that went back to FGW. However, I found out that didn't happen so have postponed my ride on one.

Alstom wanted to put the first class at one of the end carriages, as 1st class peeps don't like people walking through to get to the buffet, for example. But First Great Western overruled them and insisted on the daft idea of 1st class in the middle. Remember these trains were a FGW idea/project.
