There won't be a name change--at least i hope. There already has been
brochures about the "Millennium Train".
Technically (and mathematically), 2001 is the beginning of the new
millennium and new century. However we won't go into the intricacies of this
as this is more maths and nothing rail related (and also stop the
possibility of people arguing for years).

the seats are nowhere near the T set seats. They've only got a gap in
between the seats, whereas the rest of the V set fleets don't.
