(31 Dec 2015, 12:49 pm)8222 I'm heading VTEC first class in a few weeks on a booked-HST run from KGX. Hopefully will get a newly refurbished set! See how it compares to Grand Central's 180 refurb.
By the way - does anyone know how the platforming works at Sunderland for the VTEC departure/arrival? I can't help but think the train would be too long to fit as the 6-coach GC set just fits.

I think I asked a question re platform allocations a while back and whether it would be on a north or southbound platform (despite heading north).
Seeing GC use both, depending on which side the Metro is approaching from, may have an impact - if one is due.
GC have used Ryhope Junction as a holding point in the past. I wonder if VTEC may use that.
