    Train bosses poised to bring back British Rail-era InterCity 125 carriages after mass cancellations

    Rail bosses are poised to bring back InterCity 125 carriages from the 1980s to limit the fallout from mass cancellations after faulty Hitachi trains were taken out of service.

    Great Western Railway is considering bringing in additional British Rail-era carriages as part of emergency measures to keep passengers moving.

    Other operators are supporting GWR, which runs express services between London, Wales and the west and has been hardest hit by the crisis. “

    Least they are 1980s carriages not the 1950s slam door ones.

      I've got a feeling they still have that on the sleeper train carriages on GWR. As well as windows you can actually open of course.
