Why are they plastic with a fabric coating? They are extremely
uncomfortable to sit on. Can't they either make them plastic (so that
its easy to clean) or soft fabric like the older tube trains (so that
its comfortable) ?


If they were plain plastic, you wouldn't bang your bum down on them
thinking they were padded, and whoever's watching on CCTV wouldn't get
a laugh.
