On an IEP from Temple Meads to Paddington, first trip in one. If the Western is getting these things and we're getting their HSTs I know who's come off better in that deal - sterile, cold interiors, average ride and seats only marginally more comfy than a park bench.

The interior design is poor, but that's not a huge drama to fix. The 50 shades of grey make it feel cold and sterile, and the most comfortable part of the seats is the headrest/antimaccasar. Unless we broke down, it would appear we changed to Leckie at Swindon - acceleration was impressive after that.

They are very much ICCEs - Inter City Curate's Eggs with some good points and some bad. One good one is doing away with the high seat backs of GW HSTs - they are awful things and the slippery leather seats in 1st have also gone thank goodness.
PS No 'lectric at Swindon yet, you're about a year too early for that.
