Interior shot of TSOL 12605, formerly West Coast FO 11040, having been refurbished in similar style to the former WSMR coaches, though with updated lighting and a lavatory at one end only. This is Coach B in the first set of power-door fitted Mk.3 coaches for Chiltern Mainline, at Birmingham Moor Street prior to the final departure of test train 5H02, 14:24 to Wembley LMD. The set enters normal service from May 28th 2012. 13:53, Friday 25th May 2012. Digital Image No. GMPI12038.

on May 26, 2012I was on the Chiltern Railways website and it had an artist illustration detailing the proposed interior of a refurbished Mark 3 carriage. It showed the interiors to feature the same interiors as the Class 168 Clubman Turbo DMU trains, right down to the same carpet and same seat design. This would have meant that there would have been no InterCity 70 seats with the horrible fixed armrests. Is there going to be a refurbished set with the same interiors as the Class 168 Clubman Turbo DMU or will all refurbished sets have the former Wrexham & Shropshire interior?
