Went for a ride on the Gloucs. & Warwks. with the family today.
They have BR Mk 1 rolling stock of several varieties, refurbished to a very high standard.
The seating was very comfortable and spacious. Well upholstered, plenty of leg room, aligned with windows. The train had both saloon and compartment style seating. The latter was very handy with two small children as it stopped them escaping and minimised noise for other passengers.
Can anyone explain to me why a mere 60 odd years later it is not possible for our rail network to have stock that is as spacious and comfortable?
Where’s the progress?
