    Azuma seating

    Many including myself remove them and stick them up on the overhead rack. They're a waste of time.

    Progress on Avanti West Coast's 805/807s Hitachi AT300 sets

    I have recently left a meeting at Euston which certainly had a different feel with 2 x 805s preparing to head north, plus GWR 802 101 sitting at platform.
