It was always my impression that the S8s would have different seating
arrangements from the S7s, to reflect the areas that they serve.

They do. The S7s will have even fewer seats per car, all arranged
longitudinally (like a 378). That's the way you'll be able to spot a
seven-car S8 train, as may be deployed on other SSLs before the true
S7s come off the production line.

I profoundly disagree that the S8s reflect the services they are being
used on - the Metropolitan Line to Chesham and Amersham.

The S8s may be slightly better than the S7s in that respect, but they
are still a very long way from what is needed.

S8s are also being used on Uxbridge and Watford services you know!
