That's fine but as I've stated mines based on an actual real trip on a unit and not a few minutes at a mock up (I actually ended up sitting on the mock up seats for a few hours too). And for the record I found them fine after sitting down for about an hour, certainly better than any other rolling stock on the BML at present.
For me I find the 387s a good mix and I feel the 700s improve on this. The routes that the 707 will service, what are the average and longest journey times like?
I semi-regularly travel the 40 minutes between Hounslow and Waterloo via Brentford (38 minutes in the return direction) which is the longest journey on the Hounslow Loop . I'm looking forward to these seats as I really like them, and I just can't get along with the Class 458 ones and prefer using a 450 or 455.
Average is a bit hard to work out. A lot of people board/alight at Putney which is about 17 minutes from Waterloo, the other well used stations are Richmond, Twickenham and Feltham (all served by the Windsor & Eton Riverside services which are semi-fast to Feltham then all stations). Less people use the Hounslow Loop than the main line via Richmond.
Longest for Windsor & Eton Riverside is normally 53-57 minutes, which some people would complete end-to-end. Weybridge via Hounslow is 75-83 minutes long (London-bound services wait at Virginia Water for 8 minutes) and Woking via Hounslow is 81 minutes long, but no one would use the service all the way as journeys from Waterloo to Addlestone/Chertsey and Weybridge-Woking are faster (and sometimes cheaper) via Surbiton. It is 57-63 minutes from Wandsworth Town to Addlestone, which is really the longest journey that people might do.
