i liked these trains anyway, but now they are the BEST! the man at the end "keeps cars off the road" GRRR!!! i've just got my first car and will be driving in 10 days i don't want to hear it!
Colour scheme is good as are the lap-top power points. But the seat backs still obscure vision of passengers sitting behind them, which I find gives a closed -n effects. The old Mark 2s were best in this respect.... plus it would be nice to have all seats aligned with the windows. On nearly every design these days, the views from several seats are obstructed.
i was on one of the new refurbed 158 tuesday and i must say it felt so airy and spacious and the seats was really comfortable even though i was going from Birmingham New Street to Wolverhampton
