After travelling on several LNER Azuma’s all over the place, one thing that has struck me for a brand new train is how poor the insulation is.
When travelling at high speed, you often hear that ‘draft’ sound throughout the carriage. This is when the vestibule doors are closed too.
Another thing that they aren’t particularly too good at is keeping outside sound out. Most noticeable whilst at stations. I’m no expert but the space in between the double glazed windows seems relatively small compared, to say, a MK4. Though the type of panels and thickness of them could contribute to this too.
Finally, the panels, and especially around the windows, always seems to be icy cold to touch. Regardless of the inside temperature of the carriage.
Has anyone else noticed these issues?
