As I’ve mentioned before, my job takes me all over the UK by rail, so I get to ride on quite a variety of rolling stock.
It seems to me that as the stock gets newer, the leg room gets better but the seat comfort itself gets worse.
Today I’ve had the joys of plenty of legroom in a hard ironing board seat and a hard Elizabeth line seat (whatever those ones are) and am now sitting in a 20 year old CrossCountry Voyager seat that is plush and well upholstered but has rubbish leg room.
Is there no happy medium?
