More to the point, what will Serco's new stock have?

The seating carriages are misaligned, but as they are all airline seats
this is not all that surprising. The one that is really surprising is
that the windows in the *lounge car* are not aligned.

I've not been able to find anything. I did learn, however, that they'll
be using class 73s to haul the trains north of Glasgow and Edinburgh.
Very surprising.

Re-engined 1500hp GBRf 73/9s, of course, but only when they're ready.
Initially, they'll use Class 47s.

No, 47s. GBRf is hiring some in from HNRC.
