If there's one thing I've learnt is it doesn't matter how old a train is - it's if it gets us from A to B and the Voyagers do just that!
As much as I enjoy the Class 80x stock, I wouldn't be entirely enthusiastic about 80x stock for CrossCountry as a new set of frequent seat reservation issues is asking for chaos - especially given that XC has some of the longest distance journeys in the UK.
More double Voyagers and extra 5-car instead of 4-car workings plus a refurbishment I'd be happy with. However the current Voyager interior colours still look very modern to me
