In addition no aircon or even a breeze of air moving from the ceiling air ducts.

Certainly there was no evidence of any effective aircon in the vestibules of coaches D or E on any day this week.

As far as I am aware, the air conditioning does not extend to the vestibules in Class 180s.  They always appear to be unbearably hot in summer!

Wasn't this the unit which had aircon problems, mentioned in last week's Channel 5 programme?

I've checked the recording of the programme and vehicle number 56904 is clearly visible, so yes it was 180104. Indeed I was on that train that evening (I appear in shot for a couple of seconds but I'll keep when that is to myself! ), the TM^▸ (Train Manager, or possibly Ticket Machine, depending on context) apologised more than once about the lack of a/c but I was standing in a vestibule anyway.

Yup, I was in coach C, no aircon or even blown warm air.

The air-con does include the vestibules, it's just not maintained very well/at all.  You can see the circular vents that should be blowing out cool air if you look at the ceiling - I think there's two of them per vestibule.  There is the odd one that works, but the vast majority blow out warm or even hot air.
