The article says that "Megatrain was launched following a clause stating...". What clause is that? This statement is worthless without more information.

[edit] Fleet size
That only shows the East Midlands Trains fleet, what about the SWT network? The SWT network fleet size are as follows: 3 Class 73s, 11 Class 158, 30 Class 159, 2 Class 421, 45 Class 444, 127 Class 450, 91 Class 455, 30 Class 458, 6 Class 483.

[edit] Weekend Travel
There doesn't seem to be any weekend travel. Could be useful info for someone. I've searched Birmingham to Bournemout hand Bristol to Plymouth as well so far.
[edit] 30 weeks?
"The launch falls under a provision that states that a rail operator may try a new low-cost ticketing system for up to 30 weeks, which means Megatrain may last only 30 weeks from the start date." - it's well over 30 weeks since Megatrain launched now, and it's still going, so this sentence doesn't seem to be accurate. 86.143.51.153 11:19, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Designated carriage
This doesn't apply to the Virgin-operated services, only the SWT-operated ones. On Virgin, Megatrain customers may use any unreserved standard-class seat. 81.159.61.58 04:21, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
Does anyone actually find/use the 'designated carriage' on the South West Trains? Using the service to Poole (I'll probably update the list of destinations in a minute) the designated carriage always seems to be in the wrong end of the splitting train. Artybrad 00:32, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
