    Looks good from the outside, but I can sense a very "airline" style experience being the case inside. Also from what I here regarding GWML electrification being behind schedule and over budget, there could be some of these lying idle in sidings initially. Maybe Virgin East Coast will put some to work early if they're not ready for GW, :)

    An article about the IEP, comparing it with the classic HST it replaces has appeared in the magazine section of the BBC News website. Link below. I wasn't entirely sure whether I should post this here, as although clearly linked, it's not from Railway Herald. Please move if deemed appropriate,
