Title: Not a good train service Post by: johoare on December 06, 2011, 22:48:56 Sorry I meant to post this before but have been busy working and generally working later than usual due to arriving at work late (thanks to the lovely trains)...I think the comments commuters have added after the story itself also show how bad it is currently..

Haven't seen one go by the house yet.

Haven't seen one go by the house yet. The announcement was 'by May 2012' - three of the five units were still in use with Northern last week, and the other two aren't available to FGW either...

Does "made pretty" mean "reseated like the cattle truck HSTs"?Title: Re: Not a good train service Post by: Ollie on December 08, 2011, 07:32:19 I'm not sure what exactly is being done to them sorry.

Does "made pretty" mean "reseated like the cattle truck HSTs"?Probably ! tables and leg room are very last year you know ! Customers much prefer high density bus seats, surveys show this*. * the correct question must be asked in a survey in order to achieve the desired result. Ask people on crowded services "would you like more seats ?" very few are going to answer "no" therefore the survey can be qouted as showing that customers prefer the high density "improved" trains. The result would be rather different if the question was asked "would you like reduced space per passenger and fewer tables" This page is printed from the "Coffee Shop" forum at http://gwr.passenger.chat which is provided by a customer of Great Western Railway.
