Not so sad to see the back of the Class 170s on FTPE

The Class 170's aren’t great, let's be honest. They're noisy, cramped and vibrate. We suffer with the wretched things on the XC Trains routes from Nottingham to Cardiff and from Birmingham to Stanstead Airport where there is a desperate shortage of capacity.
XC Trains make excuses on this but at times two-coach units are packed-to-standing from Birmingham to Leicester, with season ticket holders getting more and more peeved over this awful service.
