Noel Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 Looks nice. Thanks for the photos. They have retained window blinds in 1st class which is essential for business travellers. Makes Mk4 'city gold' on the Cork line look rather shabby. As a cost cutting exercise they have taken the curtains off the Mk4 city gold coaches. How can you use a laptop or tablet in sunlight without some form of window shade or curtain??? Our northern cousins know how to do things properly. The enterprise sets look great. Quote

Perfick. Quote
