Has apparantly come back from refurb with seats similar to 158761 (http://jimsphotoallery.fotopic.net/p45899950.html) with no pull down tables!

So 3 refurbs have old seats and the rest have Richmonds, make up your mind!

pull down tables are subject to a retro fit programme due to stock issues.

there will be 6 sets with slightly different seats due to not enough of the one type to do whole fleet,i do believe the 6 sets are getting the richmonds.and the rest mtb's

They are horrible to sit on for ten minutes on the St.Ives branch, i'd hate to think what they'll be like for a long journey.

That makes sense as some extra seats will be needed to go where First Class used to be so the other six are donating them.

First Class seats were merely normal seats with a fluffy armrest and more padding and I imagine the refurb seats have been boosted in terms of padding anyway  Tongue

A note on 798's seats - The numbering is strange (as posiably the same on others) that there is 1- around 8 - then skips to around 22.
