Class 377 First Class

[williamn]

I'm aware that the first class area on these units was initially something of an afterthought, hence it being basically exactly the same as first class. I'm confused though why units are still being delivered with the same internal layout - on Thameslink I think in first this actually represents a step down from 1st class in a 319 (which is 2+1). If i were a 1st class season ticket holder I would be annoyed!

The units are to Southern Spec as they were diverted from Southern's order (and are going to Southern in couple of years time when the Thameslink stock starts to arrive)

The seats aren't exactly the same - the arm rests are slightly different so I assume there are other differences too (more padding?). There is a bit more leg room, and it on the newer 377s a door between standard and first.

Still not enough for many people to actually pay the extra though.

I would say the standard seats in /1s and /3s are equal to, if not better than the first seats in /2s, /4s and /5s.

count yourself lucky then...those seats which are standard class in the /1s and /3s are the First Class seats in SWT's desiros...
