Andy and I shared a twin cabin, what CS call

a 'classic room; the new standard'. It was very similar in layout and size to that found on the Mk. III sleepers with better facilities such as USB charging and excellent lighting. There is a small sink but, unfortunately on this particular train there was no hot water. That will have pleased those passengers who paid a hefty premium for en suite showering facilities that gave out luke warm water. Every train was carrying a mobile fitter from CAF but he was unable to fix the problem on this service. Staff were grumbling about having to make constant excuses for the problems being encountered on the services and there was slightly mutinous feel about their mood! However, on the positive, the ride was very good, the beds were very comfortable as were the lovely pillows but some control over the rather 'full-on' air conditioning would have been good; I awoke with a dehydration induced headache!
