Hello all. Long time no post.
A little while ago I bought an old first class seat from a mk2 coach off eBay, it's a rather nice leather backed seat with an orange stripy moquette. This morning when I was measuring up the base to mount on something to use as an armchair a reservation ticket fell out of it. The ticket shows it being seat 01 in coach A on the 09.40 Kings Cross to Leeds on the 12th of April 1987, reserved for the duration of the journey, clearly the best seat!
When I bought the seat I knew nothing about it's history, other than it was a first class seat in a MK2 coach, and I haven't been able to identify what variant of MK2 it came from, or what sort of a life it would have had.
So my question to you is, based on that information, does anyone know anything about what that train could have been made up of? or even be able to say which variant of MK2 it most likely came from? and from that what kind of working life it would have had before it retired to live out it's days in my living room?
Kind regards.
