I can see a few problems:
- I'll confess that I've never actually been on a 153 (on several occasions when I've tried to find one they've all been substituted for 156s!) but I've heard that their ride quality is atrocious, so hardly "premium"
- I've also heard that their windows are awkwardly high - again, not ideal for a scenic service.
- Surely the people sitting in the bike carriage are going to be the people who have their bikes in the racks, and it's not certain that they'll want the "premium" service that will presumably come at an extra cost?
153s have the exact same bogie as 156s, so I don't see why ride would be an issue. The window sills are high though, that could be a slight issue.
