It's a bit late of them to be announcing that. If it was announced this time last week, then undoubtedly me and my clan would have got the train there and back instead of getting the coach.

Was thinking the same when I saw it announced the other day.
Saying that, the prices were sky high when I looked at them after beating Grimsby.

My only thoughts were that it would help alleviate crowded carriages and help spread the load.
I've been on the Sunday morning early trains before and it is surprising how busy they get - without a load of Gateshead fans adding to it.

What is the interior like?
Guessing it meets East Midlands spec, rather than the GNER interior.

Yep, all seating is EMT low-backed. However, coach B (the TGS) has one half EMT and one half First Great Western high-backed seats.

91125 is believed to be having its Sky1 HD vinyls removed at Doncaster at the moment.

However, an HST (powercar or set I can't remember) will be getting a commemorative livery to mark an anniversary of Craigentinny Depot.

I briefly caught it in Kings Cross last month. It looks quite smart to be honest.

Keep missing it too.
Saw the Skyfall set for the first time since its livery was removed, just the other day.

I saw the Sky HD HST set a few times while in Leeds a few weeks ago. It seemed to be permanently stationed at the same platform although that was probably due to me being in Leeds around the same time each day. On first glance, it looked different from other Class 91 sets.
