Last time I caught any east coast or Xcountry trains on a regular basis was long before Big'un happened and it was still intercity 125 and 225s - if you were idiot enough, you could open the door windows on a 125, as you needed to do that to get off when it stopped, anyhow!
You still can!
CrossCountry have Voyagers and HSTs (ie IC125s), and VTEC have the Mark 4 sets (IC225s) and HSTs. HSTs still have the droplight windows which admittedly are good for window hanging
