I'm curious, as a layperson, how this could be. Trains run every day at 125 mph with no seat belts, people standing, loose luggage, unrestrained catering trolleys etc. etc. Presumably this is considered acceptably safe.
Yet a few dozen basic beds were considered unsafe?
It seems even more crazy when it’s deemed perfectly safe on airliners travelling at 6 times the speed, which frequently encounter significant turbulence and considerably less predictable conditions. How many airliners worldwide have crashed since Grayrigg ?
To enter another 40 years of rolling stock without any flat seat option feels an extremely odd decision.
