I was admittedly not as fond of the Class 800s at first. I had been given a excuse to finally use the train after many years and was hoping that I would be able to ride on a Class 91 (mostly due to them not being around for much longer).
Part of this reason being that it was the first train that I would have ridden that was not a Class 185 (the only passenger train I can expect to see from my local station, apart from a rare Northern unit).
