Still Britain's WORST train? A History and Review of the GWR IETs | Train Report Episode #2

Описание: Hello and welcome to the second episode of my series called Train Report. In this series I’ll look at every class of train operating with every train operator. Today is the second episode - the Great Western Railway IETs - class 800 and class 802. I'll go through an in-depth history of the GWR IETs before then reviewing them. I will review the IETs on a number of different factors including seat comfort, ride comfort, seat amenities, ambience, toilets, storage, WiFi, Information displays, ventilation and accessibility; ranking each factor out of ten before giving the IETs a final percentage score so that, one day, we can find out once and for all what is Britains best train! I hope you enjoy this episode! I will be reviewing the IETs as one train, not separate 800/802 although I did go on both types of train during my 'review' trip.
In this series I do not look over catering or first class.
