    Thameslink/ Class 700 Progress

    Not correct I,m afraid. Class 319's had fold down tables from new. The design however was crap and the hinge could be forced through so that they collapsed. They were removed on refurb.

    Thameslink/ Class 700 Progress

    Platform Repeater Boards (Mini Solari boards on platforms)

    Its a Solari, it has some rather odd pairings of flaps such as change at Shoreham by Sea for Balcombe! The flaps either side pair up correctly so its not as if a wrong one has been inserted. It also has red coloured flaps for Buffet service and Apologies for. All the stations are Central...
