Temperature on Avanti class 390

[Parjon]

I've never found the pendolinos comfortable, but in recent months when having to use these services they are stiflingly hot and stuffy. What is going on?

One of their real plus points. I've never felt cold on a Pendolino.

I've noticed them being a bit warmer of late too. The temperature, unlike most trains, can be adjusted by the guard on board, but I wonder if they've gone up half a degree on the default temperature?

As part of the pendolino refurb process the heater banks in each car are stripped down and cleaned for the first time in 20 years. Also, the seating config is changed during the uograde, there are now more passengers per car in standa4d class.

There have been no additional seats added in standard, quite the contrary, while most of the seating configuration remains the exact same, some seats have been removed so that more luggage storage is available.

The seating config was NOT changed, that's why the skinnier seats mean more legroom! It was felt too expensive to move the spotlights and reservation displays. Actually there's a slight reduction in each coach as the luggage rack has been widened from one row to two.

I completely agree with the temperature bit, pendolinos have always been toasty inside, I am fuming about my look of never getting a refurbished one, always 9 car or a 11 car with the old interior so I honestly don't know what it is like on the new one.

A lot of times when I have joined the WiFi on a Pendolino there has been a question about the temperature, something along the lines of 'How is the temperature on board the train today?' With the answers of too cold, about right and too hot. It seems like many people have answered 'too cold' and Avanti have responded by turning up the thermostat. One of these experiences was onboard the refurbished Pride Pendolino where it felt like 25 degrees, an interesting experience as I passed various canals that had frozen over.

I have found them too hot, often on a mild winters day. I find that outwith trains, heating yanked up on mild winters days.

My first time on a refurbed Pendolino was in December and I had to find the guard to tell him to turn the heating down.

Pendolinos are far too warm, to the point of being unpleasant.

Just like most hotels and shops I've visited of late.
