Class 799 Hydroflex interior.
It's very strange. Why would there be a meeting room in a train, no less a train clearly designed for short-medium length journeys?
The sofa seating is quite strange too but makes a bit more sense

Female mallard on high alert, concealing her young family in the long grass

Between the blades of grass, a long lens reveals downy bundles of fluff, each with a tiny duck bill

None ducklings jostle for position while their mother still tries to keep them hidden

Mother duck looks resigned as her unruly brood break cover. Time for a swim?

Nothing to see here. Oh, really?
