Interiors of a refurbished Mk4 Standard-class (TSO) of GNER, seen at London-King's Cross, awaiting departure to Newcastle. This car has been refurbished in the frame of "Project Mallard". Warmer, brighter and more contemporary atmosphere. Airline-style seats. While one may find that legroom is till in short supply, the refurbishment has added an extra 2 inches (5.08cm) without reducing capacity. One can notice the power points, available in both classes. 11th December 2003. P.L.Guillemin (plguillemin@yahoo.fr)

30 June 2001, GNER train in Waverley, UK Airline seat arrangement inside a 2nd class coach of a GNER 225 train. It is clear that the seats do not align with the windows, for capacity reasons five seats are crammed into the length of two window frames. The free distance between the back rests is 65cm in the middle of the seat and reduces to 58cm on the side between the back rest and the hinges for the folding table. There is a real chance that a person with legs longer than average has problems cramming oneself into this little space. Digital photo by Klaus Föhl (kf@ph.ed.ac.uk)

30 June 2001, GNER train in Waverley, UK Facing seat arrangement inside a 2nd class coach of a GNER 225 train. One can clearly see that the seats do not align with the windows, for capacity reasons five seats are crammed into the length of two window frames. As the free distance between the back rests of the airline style seats is 65cm in the middle of the seat and reduces to 58cm on the side between the back rest and the hinges for the folding table, these groups of four seats with a table are the only chance for a person with legs longer than average to find a seat with sufficient legspace in this coach.
