Ain't progress great?
The air intake for the air conditioning system is next to the ventilation for the toilet waste tank.They always seem to smell faintly of shit as well.

125s never ran on the WCML. It has a lot of curves, which is why one needs tilting trains to go faster. The tilting train idea dates way back to the late '70s'/early '80s with the ATP.But but but they tilt and everything. Plus they nearly go as fast as the 125's used to do in the 80's, they don't but nearly do.
Incidentally I saw some marketing bumf a year or two back from Virgin which described them as 'iconic'. There you have it folks, a chance to experience history in the making.
The go FC advice is though. You get complementary snacks and refreshments (although not as good as EC's day time offering though) and if you travel at the right time you get a hot meal too.But not such great advice if you're going to Liverpool.
They'd need in-cab signalling to go that fast, because trackside signals aren't visible for long enough as they zoom past. That was supposed to be included in the big upgrade project, but it got cut when they went over budget.And a Pendolinos can potentially go a lot faster, but they aren't allowed.
The InterCity 225 (that the ECML trains) were also designed to do 140mph, but the lack of cab signalling means that 125 is still the upper limit for them too.They'd need in-cab signalling to go that fast, because trackside signals aren't visible for long enough as they zoom past. That was supposed to be included in the big upgrade project, but it got cut when they went over budget.
There is a lot to be said about the leather seating on most modern National Express coaches.They are just about bareable on a quietish day but the seats are still too small. I am generally of small build, they must be a nightmare for bigger types. And there's an awful lot to be said for an open window on a packed train but you can't do that either.
