HST's for me too!

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.

Even the 'nsa' monitors and BBC scrolling news updates are a nice touch.
Certainly not required, but something that goes above and beyond.
Not a fan of 180's, but HT have made an effort on the interiors.

The set by all accounts. Haven't actually seen it myself - just heard about it. I has been doing the Sunderland runs though.
