Can really see no advantage to it, as unlike the MK3s or CAF Intercity coaches they can't even do 200km/h!
The DMUs would be at least capable of doing 100mph and have good accelleration and reliability.

I think DMUs should not be used for long, prestigious routes. It is not much fun in first class having a diesel engine beneath you, vibrating away.
Better to stick to loco hauled.
I love the German loco hauled trains which move off with no noise at all.
