Haven't you heard? All the 442s are going to CrossCountry to be hauled by locos. JOKE :wink:

I think silly patterns like butterflies and steam trains on tickets is un-professional and rather tacky.

I was quite surprised to see the damage the small gardening tool did to the Voyager that hit it at Swinton last year. That said a camera's probably more of a danger to the person filming, if it flings up and hits them.

Will FTPE or EMT have any officers there do you know?

I don't see what there is to complain about. The staff were just doing their jobs, protecting revenue. It's not as though he was denied travel. He made the journey he paid for. He even received numerous apologies for the delays.

All catering on this service is provided by a trolley service from the Customer Host, instead of a dedicated First Class Host.

They should leave it to First to run services, a proper company.

The Class 220/221s were NOT derated a few years ago. It was the Class 222s. The Voyagers need full horsepower for climbing hills such as The Lickey.

Could anyone confirm whether or not (XC) Class 221s have an engine disabled please?

I did read that Crosscountry Class 221s have one engine disabled on each unit (I think on this forum). There is a 4 car Class 221 (slipped my mind) with Crosscountry. Also, Virgin on occasions have 4 car Voyagers (due to coaches being removed in the depot).
