We all know VTEC like wasting time on silly ideas and neglect the boring basics like having the disabled toilets working or ticket offices sufficiently staffed (I've been told Durham ticket office is currently closed due to staffing issues and last week Grantham and Wakefield Westgate had to close early a few times).
The latest idea is to move the coach letters on a mk 4 set so that passengers get used to the position they'll be when the Azuma is launched.
On this set the coach letter will be above the window, with the sign where the coach letter used to be telling you to look above the window. This will approximate the location that it will be on the Azuma (this won't be exact as on the mk 4 it has to be further along due to the different type of door).
I don't see why this is needed. Has anyone who uses GWR got confused with this? Do VTWC passengers get confused as the coach letters are in different places on the Pendolino and Voyager? Did GNER passengers get confused when the White Rose (Regional Eurostar) sets were used?
What do you think? To me it does seem that VTEC comes up with more silly ideas than any other rail operator.
This is what you see by the door where the coach letter usually is.
