I pity the poor folk who will have to endure the best part of two hours on one of these between Southport and Sandhills at this time of the year. I have travelled on this fleet many times both when it was based at LS and more recently Bootle and I have NEVER known the saloon heaters to be switched on. Having said that, the cab heater seems to be so effective that the drivers are often seen driving in short-sleeved shirts even though the outside temperature may be hovering at freezing point.

It will be interesting to see if there are any complaints from train commuters regarding the lack of heating on these vehicles.

Slightly off subject, do the refurbished Sapphire Enviro400 at Wrexham have effective saloon heaters?
