Title: Adelante Epitaph? Post by: Lee on November 28, 2007, 09:55:23 Quote from a fading notice on the 2006 service from Tiverton Parkway - Castle Cary (26/11/2007) :
Adelante was chosen as the name for the new fleet as it is a word implying modernity with speed and reliability , through its Spanish meaning of progress and moving forward.

I like the way they make a big thing about the "automatic customer operated sliding doors." OK FGW you have HSTs with slam doors, but the majority of the UK has seen these wonderful "magic" doors before!
