On Monday 30th I boarded the slightly delayed 1211 Carlisle - Edinburgh (delayed by the Glasgow voyager which was delayed by the Glasgow pendo!) and was surprised at how busy it was.
All three coaches had standing passengers and I only got a seat because I had a reserved seat. I mean I'd expect it to be busy between Manchester and Preston but I wasn't prepared for how busy it was this late in the journey.
So yeah, my question is will 4 car 350s really be enough to solve this since they increase in seats isn't that great? I don't believe enough have been ordered to operate 8 car services have they?
The train was also overcrowded luggage wise more than i'd expect!
