It seems to me that while some people don't have a problem with the new Class 800/801 trains as a whole, there are some people out there who have a die hard dislike for them. Their reasons are that they're cramped and uncomfortable with the vibrations and seat designs. However, I read these at a time when the trains weren't even in service yet. It seems to me that some people are just jumping on the bandwagon, and others might just be blinded by their nostalgia goggles with their love of the HST.
By no means is the HST a bad train, in fact I dare say it's the greatest train running today (not my favourite, but more the fact it's still lasted after so many years and has a great legacy and love from passengers), but let's be honest, no way would they last forever. So would you agree that there seems to be a bandwagon of hate with people who just don't like them cause they're replacing the train they so love so much? If you've recently travelled on one of the new trains then let me know your experience and whether these criticisms hold any merit.
