Tue 24 Apr 2007, 15:42 I got my first taste of the new refurbished HST carriages yesterday on the 18:21 Ox - Charlbury. I have to say that I was not impressed. I have always appreciated the quality seating in the HSTs with comfy chairs and decent space. Much better than what Virgin offers on its Voyagers and Pendolinos. However, the new high density style seating is certainly a step backwards. The seats are much less comfortable and the overall travel experience less pleasant. Clearly the purpose of the change is to cram more people onto the busy peak services. So more revenue for FGW (and for the Treasury) once again at our expense. Do others feel similar or are the refurbished carriages a change for the good? |
