Formations are as normal.are they still running withe the unused Lounge and Seat Cars or just removing them and just pulling sleeper cars?
Seats coach is also the brake and guards accommodation so has to be in each unit.
Club/lounge still used to provide necessary staff refreshments.
Also the Mk5s TCMS (computer brain) is designed on the basis of the normal “fixed” set up of each unit (seats / lounge / sleepers) so is liable to get upset if too many bits are missing - indeed if a seats/brake coach isn’t in a unit and at the end it won’t allow the train to run (which makes sense really).
