@dk1 yes I think we really have hit the jackpot, really lovely trains.
The only thing that lets them down a smidge is the heating duct and seat support arm which did combine to make me feel a little uncomfortable after 45 minutes. But nothing in this life is perfect!
I'm not sure how they'll do on Stansted runs with lots of suitcases, the luggage stacks are quite small and not located where you might expect so people were leaving large items in the doorways. I guess people will figure it out, and the guard can assist now they don't have to worry about the doors or despatch.
Would I be correct in thinking that the 4 bays of table seating with no airline seating between the cab and the door was originally designed to be a first class area?
