I was on a XC voyager yesterday and was impressed by the new carpets and upholstery. Such an improvement!
True the seats are hard but I want to focus on a few positive things...
I actually felt quite sentimental being on a voyager for the first time in a few years. Maybe it is because they have been around a few years now and I have fond memories of travelling places on them. But the train sure looked great arriving and looked taller than I remembered it but I think this is an illusion because the drivers cab appears higher.
The train was noisy and vibrated strongly but I am growing to like this noise as a distinctive feature of them? There is something exciting about the noise as the train builds up speed. I especially like the big windows despite not having a great view from where I was sitting. I also thought the vestibule doors are smart and the red furnishings despite still being in Virgin red. The train is also incredibly smooth departing stations.
The fact it wasn't overcrowded obviously makes a difference meaning I side with other comments that it woul dbe a fine train but for the overcrowding.
