    I rode in 233 last week, quality restoration blending the old and newer parts of it's history. Seats were comfortable, we'll leave it at that! :)

    233 has been passed to run on the mainline but as yet not to carry passengers as well, so this will be the preferred method of moving the coach from one rail connected railway to another instead of been loaded on a lorry.
