A few hours ...........on the Chieftan ?
I finally had my first ride on an azuma this morning. Mixed feelings, but nothing beyond what has already been reported, I tried to remain very open minded regarding the travel experience, however I feel it’s a comfort downgrade from the existing rolling stock provision.
I travelled on a 385 to Glasgow from Edinburgh shortly after, I feel the azuma is a more glossier version of these trainsets and very close in product terms.
Yes, these are really poor. A combination, I think, of a very narrow, shallow sink and the tap being rather high above it means that it doesn't take much for the water to miss the target or to slosh out onto the floor.I travelled on my first Azuma last week from London to Edinburgh.
- the toilet (non-accessible) doesn't seem to be the best design for when washing hands as I found the water was going over the side and on to the floor too easily.

My overall impressions were good. I was in 1st class and seat comfort was fine.
Have you tried sitting in the standard 'cattle-class'?

Good to hear!There is a set (800113) which has modified taps as a trial, which aims to direct water to the sink rather than over the floor.
It's presumably 2 5-car 801s?Apologies if this has already been raised! I see that again a Kings Cross-Aberdeen service is today being formed of a 10 Coach set (2x5) to Doncaster where passengers will be transfered to a 9 Coach set to Aberdeen.
Other than the requirement for additional crew is there a reason why a 10 Coach set (2x5) could not go to Aberdeen?
what my thoughts wereIt's presumably 2 5-car 801s?
