I think the only valid complaint was the release of the 317/7s and trying to run a service with few backups (thus short forming some trains).
However, if a few short formations is the price to pay for having saved a load of money leasing them - which has enabled GA to spend that money on proper deep cleans and refreshes, I am sure that many people would actually think it was a good thing.
Completely agree, when I first heard the 317/7s were going I was annoyed with GA but their loss has been more than worth it to get the 153, 156, 321/4 and now 170 refurbs. TBH, the 317/7s weren't that great anyway, they didn't have nearly enough seats for what they were being used for, the inter-carriage doors on them were downright dangerous, the lease was very expensive and due to the windows, the air-con used alot of power but didn't actually work.
