Opinions On New Lner Trains?

https://www.lner.co.uk/news/first-tri-mode-long-distance-trains-for-east-coast-main-line/

10 of these tri-mode monstrosities will be built and I believe will be replacing the intercity 225s.
As a person who lives with CAF class 195s I am not excited to ride these down to london.

 

Not a massive fun of them my self, in my opinion

 

yeah agreed

 

Not too fond of the way it looks but if that concept art is anything to go by at least it’ll have level boarding

 

To hell with that monstrosity!

 

Agreed

 

Seems pretty 800 series looking but not a fan of how fast the front curves downwards tbh.

is the class number available?

 

Not yet but I'd assume its a 7xx or 8xx due to it being tri-mode

 

I think we're all in agreement on that.

 

I'm going to be butchered but I love it

 

yes

 

The 397's ugly sibling.

 

indeed

 

Oh no wait it is real!
I saw it on the ugliest trains thread first!

Nooooooooooo!

 

Rubbish, rubbish and rubbish

 

CAF ? They’ll be removed quickly from service because of cracks…

 

They look rather nice imo

 

agreed tbf

 

They might be alright, but if it’s the seat design from the 80x series that’s what needs a new design more, ironing boards are terrible.

 

They look tacky, not a patch on a class 91 + Mk.4 set.

Similar case to the HST and 80x's, with the HST being the better looker of the two
