All doors were working properly - the aircon was switched off during
the layover at Wrexham - and wasn't on for the first 5 minutes of the
journey to Marylebone, after which the Guard/TM came through, turned
it on and apologised to all in the coach. In the few minutes I'd been
there I really hadn't had time to notice.

I understand that senior managers at the owning groups are taking a
very careful look at how the coaches are being maintained - they don't
want to spoil theirs once they are delivered. Its been quite a steep
learning curve.
