No.

But to be clear, now the CIS screens had been sorted on the Shard concourse, from a ped flow point of view, London Bridge is performing almost exactly as the model predicted.

Anyway back on topic. I'm writing this on 117. Seats comfy....

im not coming around your house if thats your definition of comfy!!! ha ha ha ha

2+3 seating is unsuitable for long distance because of a lack of comfort. 2+3 seating is unsuitable for short distance because of a lack of standing space. So we can conclude that 2+3 seating is not suitable in any circumstance.

Gets my vote, where do I sign! ;)

Well my verdict is the seats are quite hard for a long journey.
Travelled on 1138 East Croydon to Brighton (112 & 113) then back on delayed 1308 Brighton to St Pancras (111 & 117)
115 & 116 were on the depot outside Brighton Stn

Due to customer feedback, the interiors of the Class 387s have been changed to reflect this however because of the much reduced seating capacity a lot of customers won't actually get a chance to use them.

Have a great day <D

That's the revised design for the open area in the 700s.

Nothing will come close to the lapdance bar on some 319s in the 90s though.

Well there aren't armrests between every seat, nor tables, and whoever decided to copy the lontitudonal seat layout from the 378s!

Just wait for the usual suspects to complain.

I was being sarcastic, you know with the level of pettishness that you get here about the Class 387s I thought some dark humour might be in order - glad you two like it :)

Have seen a few complaints this morning that "Old style Thameslink trains" have been turning up on the BML today where 387's had been pretty consistent. Does that mean that a lot of 387's and 377's are trapped north of the flood or just a revision in diagramming surprising people?

Perhaps there were so many complaints about the seats it was decided to go back to the 319s...
