How much impact are the extremely slow doors having on timekeeping? Not sure why they weren't kept at the same speed they were on the District Line days.
Avanti West Coast have been going for less time and refurbished multiple voyagers. I only ask as I haven't see any concept art or plans for the interior, every EMR train I've been on has looked pretty tired since they took over.
I don't want to take this thread off topic but have EMR even done interior refurbishments on any stock never mind the 360's? I've only seen vinyl stickers applied to the exteriors of existing stock but no notable interior changes.
The whole refurbishment programme seems to be a rushed mess. There's no consistency with each unit they're doing and with the doorways the same it just looks like they haven't bothered. And definitely agree that the toilets could do with some work. I'm sure a staff member on the SWR forum said...
Any idea as to why the grab poles are still orange by the doors and if they are going to also be changed to blue?
Also if the Stagecoach blue cladding is going to be changed like in the concept art?
