Will it be a private train, or will she be 'mingling'?

if it is Waterloo to Wincheseter, it will probably be a 442, so she shouldnt complain

Sod thunderbirds, the depots will be empty, because all the fitters will be out berthed at strategic locations betweeen Waterloo and Winchester.
Martin, i expect they'll lock the first class out of use, and get a unit specially sent up to Waterloo {ie straight out of 'A' clean}
