Staycation Express HST launched

摘要

RAIL CHARTER Services (RCS) launched its second summer season of 'Staycation Express' services on July 19, with its newly completed 2x5 HST set replacing the loco-hauled stock in use last year. The train now features former East Midlands Railway VP185 HST power cars 43058 and 43059, along with five former Great Western Railway Mk 3 HST trailer coaches. All of the coaches are now first class accommodation and the seating has been configured into table bays of two and four, with a table beneath each window to maximise the views from the train. The former airline style seating configuration and standard class seating has been replaced. Screens have been fitted between each seating bay, partly in response to social distancing requirements and also to aid privacy.
