I traveled from Preston to Windermere yesterday on one of the new
trains that TransPennine Express"FIRST" are running on the service
and it was freezing nothing but cold air blowing through the aircon
ducts .I called TPE to complain last night and the person in customer
service told me they had received loads of complaints about these new
trains regarding this fault. She also told me their engineers can do
nothing about it the fault is in a box that only Siemen's can sort so
all the trains are being returned one by one to be sorted .

Getting a little OT for this thread now, but the same A/C control fault is
apparently present on the SWT 444/450 Desiros, the DC version of the 185s...
