Well thats the plan, back to the same old **** poor trains, just with a

I take it you haven't seen a refurbed SWT 455?


Yes there is one floating about, better than they were, but not a patch on
what's currently on the line.


(More than one, at least in theory they run in pairs)

But you have to admit that a totally redesigned interior is slightly
more than a "coat of paint", and totally different seats are somewhat
more than "a few seat covers".
