Had a KX-Don return yesterday and got a good deal fare wise from Hull trains
First time on a 180 and ok apart from the hum of the engine underneath
Return train was the 17.08 and was surprised to see a GC unit roll up. Checked ticket and sure enough it was booked on the GC train ( thats the first surprise!) bit like BA booking me out to JFK on a 777 and back on a virgin 747)
Anyway just got on and enjoyed the quiet run back, as i thought i was on a HST, It wasn't until was got to KX that the plug door made me realise i wasn't on an HST.
Now for the question. can a 180 run without one engine ( I cant see why not) but it was noticeably quieter that the outward journey, hence the false HST thinking
