I've been in a local train once, but it was obviously meant for tourists. In fact, it wasn't much of a train at all. It consisted of one of those universally slow yellow monster locomotives and a single coach. The single coach was every bit as good as the InterCity stock, if not better. There are some others that don't look so bad, though.

Thus, the trains are going to vary wildly from line to line, and I sure haven't been on them all. England's railway system, as you may expect, is centered around London.
