Title: Refurbishment of Class 150/1 sets from London Overground Post by: Super Sprinter 150 on May 21, 2011, 19:30:25 Why are the class 150/1 sets from London Overground not refurbished as well as the Wessex Trains class 150/2's? The 150/1's have the high density low seating as well as now table seats which is horribly uncomfortable and the low seating means you can't look out of the window as well. It is also quite dim.
SO, FIRST GREAT WESTERN, IF YOU ARE REFURBISHING THE UNITS, DON'T DO HALF THE JOB, DO THE FULL JOB!

now that they have these they should look at using the 150/1 s on service like exmouth-paignton in other words commuter routes and use the 150/2's on longer journeys due to the tables like penzance-plym or maybe even barnstaple just a shame they dont all have corridor connections at each end Title: Re: Refurbishment of Class 150/1 sets from London Overground Post by: devon_metro on May 21, 2011, 21:00:04 Why are the class 150/1 sets from London Overground not refurbished as well as the Wessex Trains class 150/2's?
