220017 stands at Bristol Temple Meads' platform seven having terminated with the 10.05 from Manchester Piccadilly. My wife and I had travelled down from Birmingham New Street on this CrossCountry service. The state of the Voyagers leaves a lot to be desired. The interior of this one was tired with a number of windows full of condensation due to the failure of the bonding meaning no view, this included ours. With the franchise now in its twelfth year of operation, they really ought to be putting these Voyagers through a mid-life full overhaul, as BR would have done.
