Yes, Southern are gradually refurbishing/refreshing the original "Connex" Spec 377 units.I got 377133 this morning and I was surprised to see that it was 2+2 green seats throughout. I thought all the green seated trains were 2+3 in the middle two coaches. Has this train been refurbished recently?
They aren't changing the layout are they? The first batch of /1s had connex 2+2 seating?
People hated (for good reasons) Connex but they did spec the train interiors better than Southern.
I know there are reasons for 3+2 seating although I don't agree with it but the sandpaper fabric on the seats is a joke.
As far as i know, seat layouts arent being changed, only the seat covers, handrails and carpets are being changed/added
