I always travel by 125 from York to the X. Just prefer to hear what the engines are doing...especially accelerating up to and through the tunnels at Hadley Wood etc. Up the front end they have pretty comfortable and more generous seats too. Pity none of those
GNER▸ refurb sets survived...the brown interiors...they were like Pullmans. a New York interior designer apparently...and all gone what a waste.
Back end of Feb, I'm off to Falmouth to see son, so, you've guessed it, it'll be 125 York to X, 125 Padd to Truro. Kinda hoping Truro to Fal still had 153s too.
