East Midland Trains Class 222 Meridians- to be re-formed as 6 car sets, removing the buffet and first class, replacing with all standard class seating. At least one to my knowledge has been driver training up and down the route since before Christmas.

that's a shame. they were good when Midland Main Line had them with the M's Bar.

Not terrifically spiffing in accessibility either, really narrow aisle.
