Hi all,

ARRIVA Cross Country have made a press release, confirming the services which will be formed of HSTs- (2+9 including a buffet/2+7 including a trolley)

http://www.crosscountrytrains.co.uk/SiteImages/Assets/3/More_XC_seats_for_holidaymakers_27-03-08.pdf

However, they don't mention whether the HSTs will be nasty MTUs or not, or if the MK3s will be un-refurbished.

If they are both Valenta/VP185 powered power cars, and unrefurbished, I can definately see myself doing the 07:24 Manchester to Newquay/15:22 return :D

However, I seriously doubt that the HSTs will be both unrefurbished and not re-engined.:???:
