How about a thread about a rather special train, the TMST (Trans Manche Super Train)? This was the project name for the high-speed train designed to link London, Paris and Brussels via the Channel Tunnel when it opened in 1994.

A eurostar class 373 train in original livery at St Pancras in London.

Couldn't tell you off the top of my head. Especially after a long week! Thanks for the offer though.

Joking aside, so far, I'm finding this the most comfortable and stylish uniform we've had.
