Aaand that's why the 90cm maximum length restriction on accompanied luggage now imposed by many TOCs does not meet the needs of the travelling public.

Ah, but how often is it actually imposed?

The comfort in the HST is not in doubt, but the reason they are going is that they are more than 40 years old and expensive to operate and maintain.

Therefore it is not realistic to ask to keep them, but rather ask for the new stock to be more comfortable and wave resistant.

And perhaps keep HSTs for a few more years until new stock that is more comfortable and more wave resistant can be obtained.
