First Great Western HST onboard entertainment

[Mendipman319]

has anyone seen the new (ish) onboard entertainment in HST's (only in coach D) here is a vid of it in action! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbfnZL2NL6k
it seems like a good idea but it will probably be vandalised within two weeks of being installed i have already heard stories of them not working for some.
any views?

that will be the reason for the next HST that failure?

Oh no!! Lets hope it doesn't spread.

Huh.

Those are pretty awesome. Should probably be in First Class only though.

I a chance to have a go on one of these about a month ago, must say one good thing is it has a little map that moves with your train on it to show where you are. Like the maps you get on transatlantic flights. It also offers tv shows, but unfortunaetly no live TV.

cheers

Sorry all but I hope we can be allowed to book seats in the quiet coach if thing gets a hold.

Its already bad with constant mobiles, ipods and the like.

Train travel is civilised and relaxing - or it should be - watching the ever changing scenery. Do we have to be continually bombarded with digitalised intrusions

Pretty sure it's only in one coach though, the rest being normal and of course one quiet.

I think the choice is good.

its only on coach D on selected trains. I doupt they will put any more in as they are currently getting problems with the kids mucking them up so half of them are broken anyway.
