That's fine - MTU's will do (yes I did get a bit carried away there
)! It's the capacity we're more interested in.
I understand that 11 years back when XC hired 2 9-coach then NXEC HST's which they also provide a buffet onboard. I hope they do that again - I can see a 9-coach HST and a buffet with it being pretty popular with passengers!
Cheaper fares too I hope given more Standard and First Class capacity in these trains.
Assuming XC go ahead with this, they'll have to mention that First Class Coach J has no power sockets.
