Whilst seating comfort is a matter of personal preference, it would appear many find recent train seats to be uncomfortable, lack lumbar support and are too narrow, with seats like wooden boards.
This is a general trend, and certain classes / seats are worse than others. This will tend to discourage people from travelling by train.
I consider this to be a ridiculous situation which wouldn't be tolerated in even a basic car.
Suggestions of H&S being the culprit are simply unbelievable. What I am not sure about is who is the guilty party, TOC, DfT, manufacturer or leasing company?
