One would hope that there would be more of substantial "first class" to segregate, as there really isn't any difference other than the antimacassars. Hopefully they'll get upgraded with a proper first class in due course

I actually prefer the newer rounded windows, seems more modern to me. Although I'm not sure what to call them, if it were a bus I would say "gasket glazing" but I'm not sure if that's the proper name

"At... Cutty Sark thefirsttwosetsandlaststwosetsof doors will not open"

yes, please change your opinion

Yes, its utterly horrific. The livery doesn't look like anything TFL, and isn't consistent with Underground/Overground/Tramlink etc liveries. Also, the front design is soooo ugly compared to the concept. It looks like a squashed fish. I can't believe they paid someone to take that very nice...

The Overground 378s have pretty terrible announcements as well, with a very monotone and boring voice, as well as the non-stop talking you mentioned, which is very annoying. Not to mention their DMI screens, which are all out of sync with eachother, with some of them blank/off all the time. Very...

Don't all drivers just take full power when accelerating, assuming the speed limit allows it? Or maybe I'm just talking total bollocks

Indeed, how utterly sad to think that people based their vote on the £350 million etc when the total NHS budget is £116.4 billion per year.

My god, that voice is absolutely hideous. Very disjointed and without proper emphasis on the correct words. Also, Julie Berry's coach number announcement seems to be cut, as she says "coach number x of 8" instead of "This is coach number x of 8"

Indeed, especially if you're used to an 8 car 315 with 3+2 and 2+2 seating. At the very least I was hoping for every car to have some transverse seats, with the exception of the wheelchair car. Also Heathrow passengers may be disappointed --- old post above --- --- new post below --- But does...

I would say that at least 1 million of those are of the "send dem fakin immigrants bak" type

These drawings of the Class 345 obtained via a FOIA request bring up some interesting questions: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/349041/response/857315/attach/3/Q234%20BMB%20R1%20XMO%20CR001%2050011%20Rev%203.0.pdf The first and last cars (the DMS) have all longitudinal seating, with no...

I personally love Julie Berry's voice. Very powerful and yet soft at the same time. Her best version is on the Piccadilly Line. She also emphasises the right words.

Who voices the DVA on the GWR 387s? Is it Julie Berry?

They are fitted with pressure ventilation instead, as the doors open quite regularly (metro routes etc) so it was thought that air con was less effective. They can be retrofitted, as air con units take up the same amount of space as pressure ventilation.

In my opinion fitting tables to standard class would make first class less different/less of an upgrade, which would make first class less worthwhile. I like the 700s the way they are

by that reasoning isn't the 2nd car backwards as well?

That picture brings up a question that's been on my mind for a while: Why are the opening hopper windows in the 1st car in a different location to the other 3 cars? I've noticed this on all the 387s

As you may know, the two middle cars are designated for use by wheelchairs, with backboards and tip up seats etc. However, only one of them has an accessible toilet, and therefore the single seats are needed in the other car to ensure that the aisle in that section is wide enough for a...

The others probably won't last much longer once the yobs get their hands on them
