WCML Pendolino refurbishment suggestions and predictions

[greatvoyager]

Ooh, good, so not Fainsa Sophia, then?

Does that mean we are going to get 80x without the dross as well?

An "informal cafe-bar"? Interesting...a DB style bistro, perhaps, or a Eurostar-style standing cafe? (Though that isn't necessarily a UK-viable model - we don't do "Stehcafes" like the Germans do).

It's all sounding very positive, but we'll have to wait and see.

Indeed, no Fainsa Sophias. The article also stated that the 800s will have the same interior.

This will be interesting as ForPeople are marketing people, not seat designers

I think this refurbishment may need to add more Standard seats to the Pendolinos, lot's of 11 car services to Glasgow reported as being Full and Standing leaving Euston.

They've done design work for airline seats.

They designed the BA Dreamliner First Class seats, so pretty good!

That sounds good enough to me!

Could converting Coach G to standard class, in common with 9-car units, be the answer?

I can't wait to see what the seats will look like.
