Have they taken away what i know as the lounge car which is loose seats and sofas where you can grab a few drinks and a plate of haggis neeps and tatties (seat61's review on his site shows it) and wobble away on the bar style seats/tables and then the sofa for a few pints?. I think what you had as the lounge car used to be the seating coach and would be full of students in days gone by (and they sat there all night).

And see those 158s? Hate them, always sigh when they appear for my commute, especially when they appear for a peak service from stirling to glasgow and only 2 carriages. They are refurbishing them though with two usb ports per seat pair and finally more legroom (something woefully missing on the old school 158s).
