I have said this 1 and I will say it again, especaily for Seth. MK2 Brakes are too loud!!!!!!

Well next time you're on the sleeper, I suggest you fork out the extra few quid to travel in a non-Cattle Class Mk3 berth. That way you'll have no reason to complain about the finest coaching stock ever built, the Mk2.

Mark 2s are really good coaches. About 200 are currently rotting away in sidings and MoD sites around the country. The Mark 2A design is quite good, but basically a "plastic Mark 1."

Ex Virgin Mark 2s are extreemly cheap to run, are very basic etc.

Harold: Mark 2 brakes are NOT loud, I don't notice it really

Mark 2s are really good coaches.

At least there's something we agree on! That's got to be a first. :mrgreen:

Why the brackets for 66s?

On the subject of Mk2s, I must admit I do like some of the Ex-Virgin ones in use with Arriva Trains Wales, with the re-upholstured seats, perfect window/seat alignment and that mega luggage rack in the middle of the coach.

I agree the noise is loud (although I can sleep through it), but also the brake dust is very unpleasant as well in the MK1s and MK2s.

I couldn't agree more with you joy54. Mk2's are good coaches, but I still don't think that it's the best built coaching stock built by B.R. Sorry, but I think Mk3's are better!

 

[Julian G]

i like the cl66 with the circular headlights
not the rectangular ones
i like the GBRF 66s

So it would appear that your issue is with the braking system rather than the coaches themselves?

 

[Andy]

mine would be

37s
47s
60s
and 90s

Freightliner also have some Class 66 locos with circular headlights

Surely the technical side of the coaches is counted when you 'review' them? Don't get me wrong, though, I also love Mk2s

Put it this way, if they had disc brakes Harold would have nothing to complain about.
