It is, it's all 2+2 seating as well. And 1/3 coach of first class....
Before FCC got their mits on them, the /2s had half of the DTS(A) as first class and the /4s had a third of the DTS(A) as first class. Have FCC changed this?
The 303s had two unique units. 303049, which became 303999, was the only unit in the class to gain NSE livery. There was one fitted with 'plug' doors instead of the sliding ones, can't remember the number though.

A 455 coach got plug doors instead of sliding doors as a prototype for the Networkers. It's now got normal doors though, and since refurbishment I doubt it's any different to the rest of the fleet.
The ex Hull trains 170s in FSR fleet and if its still around the ex SW trains 158 ;
There were two - 786 and 789 IIRC, they're both now in Saltire livery, though I believe they still retain the SWT interior.
I've seen them a few times, but not been on them (They're always going the other way ).
Yeah ive been on one set once and never seen one since:roll:
From what I've read.
321420 is around 7 years newer than the rest of the 321/4 fleet, after the Watford Crash.
The best bits of 321418 & 321420 were used to make a reformed 321418.
A new unit numbered 321420 was built.
Well that is the first time I have heard that! The P5 book has the TSO and DTSO for these 2 sets swapped but does not mention anything about a new set being built.
There are two oddities amongst 185 numbers

There's a 455 running about (I don't know the number) with a drop-down window on the secondman's side the same as that found in the cab door of a 377. No idea why though.
158 789 still has the SWT interior, I travelled on that set between Edinburgh and Newcraighall this morning!
