These trains are an icon for one of the things I admire most about Mexicans: renewing or repurposing things we Norteamericanos would just throw away.

In reply to ROGER NORWICH. The Class 800s are better in some area, like disabled accessibility, bike racks and chargers, but they're definitely lacking in the seat department. The Mark 4 coaches with the Class 91s were the pinnace of British rail travel if you ask me, especially if you were lucky enough to ride along in First!

These trains are so much nicer to ride than the new lightweight trains that have replaced them in the UK…these are real trains and Mexico is lucky to have these running on their tracks….so comfortable, safe and reliable.
