Are new trains 2+2, then? South West Trains is refurbishing its 455s with 2+2 seating; there are some pictures at http://www.swtrains.co.uk/aboutus/newsreports.asp?ArticleID=298. There's also some longitudinal seating, providing more standing space. 3+2 seats are often seen as being too narrow, meaning the extra seats often aren't used efficiently. |
