Hello, I recently took a trip to Cornwall, a full account of which can be found here:

It was the first time I used one of FGW's 150/1s and I must say I was pleasently surprised. The 3+2 seating layout is poor; why they didn't remove the aisle seats on the "3" side during refurbishment, I don't know, but the actual seats themselves are actually very comfortable, more so than a 150/2, with slightly more legroom than a 150/2 also. What really won me over with these units though are the presence of proper 317/321 style door vestibules, as opposed to the 150/2s which basically just have holes in the side of the carriage :P
I didn't want to like the 150/1s, but actually they are very nice units, better than FGW's 150/2s imo.
