Looks like the Voyagers are getting some new vinyl in the toilets!

I've had a quick search for the answer to this specific question of mine but haven't been able to dig anything up, so apologies if this is already covered elsewhere. I travel frequently on the BRI BHM route, mostly on Voyagers but occasionally manage to catch the HST. Mobile reception is...
