Hi folks
Does anyone know how many seats there are on the Chiltern class 165 DMU’s (2 and 3 cars)?
With the perceived increase in in overcrowding on the Aylesbury (via Amersham) Line, I want to compare seating capacity. Previously the Class 115’s has 4 cars with a capacity of 30 (1st class) and 302 (2nd class) seats (Wikipedia may not be correct, I know). These were usually doubled up to 8 cars in peak times.
Often in the evening peak home the trains are 2 or 3 car 165’s. Is there actually a big decrease in seating or does it just seem that way?
Maybe I’m mistaken but the Wycombe, Oxford, Birmingham Line seems to have had a lot of infrastructure investment and train stock, but us Aylesbury/Amersham are still stuck with the same as we had in 1992.
Also, is it just me that misses the comfort, sound and smell the of the old DMU’s?
Many thanks,
Adam
