There's a picture here of a unit in ScotRail blue and silver doors, but no branding applied, so it could be something else.

I agree, five seems like a pretty decent amount, and other than the IE 29000, the replacement trains aren't even that bad. Shame if you booked first class though.
Been on plenty of narrow back seats that offer a good amount of recline. I'd much rather we gave people the choice.
Even the horrible 800 seats are a lot better with recline (see 387s).
What's wrong with allowing people to reduce their own legroom to have a more comfortable posture? Confused as to why you would oppose people having a choice.
Lots of European long-distance trains and even some commuter trains have recline in second class. As for the UK, the Eurostar has it.
It's fairly reasonable to expect that, but of course we go for the cheapest and nastiest junk on the market.
What an interesting comment, "for non-articulated stock".
All of the smoothest trains I've ever been on were non-articulated, while some of the absolute worst were articulated.
