Default SET 376 - A big disappointment

Having had several journeys to and from work on these, I wonder if anyone
else agrees with my observations:

- These trains have some of the most uncomfortable seating I have ever
experienced, snip

If I've got my facts right my Hastings service uses the 375 but there is a
"high density" runt version with the same rock hard 2 + 3 wide seats.
Totally uncomfortable after 10 minutes let alone 1:40. Fortunately I've only
had to endure them once. I'm starting to miss the old slam door cattle
trucks slap around face whoops what am I saying, snap out of it.... one
thing about the more comfortable 375s, There's less leg room on the rowed
seating than on most airplanes I've been on - I'm only 6ft and its pretty
uncomfortable. Mind the tabled seats are very nice.
