Default SET 376 - A big disappointment

A refurbished Networker or a 375/9 over a 376? Every time!

If a survey was conducted of a single service, comparing the 376 with,
say, a 375/9, I bet the 376 would lose out on passenger preference
everytime - even for those who have to stand. A major disappointment.


Oh dear, losing out to a 375/9? Bad, very very bad. I'll miss a train and
wait from the next (admittedley 15 mins) to avoid a 375/9. Though on the
Tonbridge lines, the formations are usually 1-unit 375/9 + 1-2unit(s)
375/not-9 so a walk along the platform usually suffices.

I'll have to get on a 376 at Charing Cross and have a good look round but
they do look fairly grim.
