SET 376 - A big disappointment
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.
No attempt to use specific stock on specific South Eastern routes ever
seems to last long. Whatever services the VEPs were felt suitable for,
they seemed to get used on the longest distance routes. The same seems
to be happening with the 375/9s.
When the CIGs were transferred from Brighton, they were meant to be
concentrated on the Hastings route, but this didn't last long.
All the talk of using specific stock on specific types of service is
meaningless on the south eastern where a lot of different types of
stock seem to be have been used indiscrimminately for as long as I can
remember.
