Looks good.

Chiltern also posted a couple of pics on their Facebook page. One of the exterior, showing the new Clubman livery that shows similarties with the loco-hauled 'Silver Trains'.

The other is of the interior. Although Chiltern initially posted this picture on it's side. Not good to see a train on it's side!

Another refurb for the Clubman's!  :o

That must be the third since they were introduced.

The last refurb was just seat covers and a deep clear if I remember?  This is more comprehensive, with even the toilets getting an, erm, 'unique' refurb!
