True .. but I HATE lateral seating. I like to be able to see out of
the window without turning my neck through 180 degrees!

I was pleasantly surprised the other day to find the new trains on the
Goblin line did not follow this plan.

I believe they only have a conventional layout so that they can be
transferred elsewhere in the country if the line is electrified. So expect
to see the normal LO style 378 if they are ever replaced...
