Transport for Wales introduces premium trains

Transport for Wales has introduced an improved rail service between Cardiff and Holyhead with greater capacity and fully refurbished intercity carriages.
Transport of Wales also announced that they have successfully purchased a further 30 Mark 4 intercity carriages that are fully refurbished to a high standard. This will include four trains of five carriages which will enter service on the Swansea to Manchester route from December 2022.
The new trains will include First Class carriages, free Wi-Fi throughout, an enhanced food and drink offer including a buffet car, accessible toilets and baby changing facilities. There will also be wheelchair and priority seating available. The carriages were purchased thanks to funding from the Welsh Government.

These are much better than the class 197s! The weird thing is it is only 4 and 5 car sets...

These Mk4s had been overhauled for the Grand central Blackpool north to London Euston service which got cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic. They weren't stolen from LNER as such lol who had refreshed their fleet with the introduction of the Class 800 Azumas.

The music's really loud and the person interviewed's wearing a mask - thus making it harder for people to read his lips...

[@coben.13]

And?

[@coben.13]

He is on a train so he can't take his mask off

[@miguelramos206]

@@coben.13 explain that to a person who cannot hear as you. Do it in writing, if you're still unaware and try talking to them with a mask on.

You mean the premium trains that you stole from LNER

[@folkeklarstrom3668]

Stole? Lner has no use for these train cars anymore so tfw bought them.
