(09 May 2016, 7:48 pm)South Tyne Lad I thought that too, Though most of the public will only know the " Grand Central " arm of Alliance Rail, Not the main body itself.
Its a shame they refurbed First Class but didn't touch Standard, The interiors all mismatched I think haha.

(09 May 2016, 7:57 pm)8222 Completely agree. I swear that standard have the same carpet/moquette that they were delivered in. Shocking when you compare them to the standard of the Hull Trains' units. They are lovely. They really need to up their game. I'd much rather one of their HSTs any day.

(09 May 2016, 8:01 pm)South Tyne Lad It is indeed the original Moquette and carpets, Never been on a HT 180 yet so I couldn't comment on them though I have heard good things about them.
HST's for me too!

I usually have to check as I often travel on a Sunday evening back from KGX.
I'm presuming the York Races trains will be dry trains. It can be a horrendous experience travelling GC on a Saturday night / after a race meeting from York.

(09 May 2016, 8:05 pm)8222 They are nice - I've done a couple of trips on them from Hull to KGX. As much as I like Grand Central and the convenience, they need to pull their finger out interior wise. Even the first class, if you look, you can see bits of missing sealant from the glazing of the windows and covered over light sockets. It all looks a bit done on the cheap to me. i also think they could have used oranges and greys internally, too, to make it more striking.
(24 Oct 2016, 7:48 am)8222 I hope someone gets a photo of it in the Cross! Any idea if it's just the locos or the full deal?
