Nah, not one of the worst units in my opinion, but still pretty awful. I find 313s and stuff like that much worse comfort wise.

I think you're thinking about 322s there, which are probably just as bad (never been on one!) but at least they can go faster = journey over quicker :lol:

I think the 314s are better. The seats are better suited to taking 3+2 the the high-backed ones on the 320s.

Face it, Sean. 320s are cr*p! :razz:

TBH, though, a refurb would make me like them just a bit better. Better seats are the main problem IMO.

Voyagers? Desiros? Why!?

funny really, went on a voyager today for the first time in a while, and they are better than I remembered. Unfortunately the vestibules still stink of s***, and the headrests on the seats could be a bit better.

Class 317 - The 317 looked extremely strange when I first saw it while on Hackney Down some years ago. As it was so similar to the 455, I seem to remember thinking "what an earth is that!!", LOL!!!.

Class 319 - The crèche livery was interesting and suited them. I also like the old bar that still remains on the 319/2. The FCC livery is dreadful though, doesn't suit them at all.

Class 365 - Waiting for the train to Elmers End at London Bridge one Saturday, what comes in but one of these. As with the 465/9 of today, they clearly didn't stick to mainline workings.

Class 375 - I only really put this down for 375 608/610/624/705.

Class 411 - "Kent Coast". That’s what I would call them when I was younger, probably because of the small stickers on the side.

Class 455 - Probably one of the first units I ever rode on. Never been overly keen on the refurbed front, SWT ones look much better in my opinion.

Class 456 - Again, have been using these for as long as I can remember.

Class 465/466 - The whine as they pull in/pull away will always make these one of my favourites.

I dunno really - I just proper love them. I think mainly because Im more into Passenger stuff, and the Voyagers were one of the first new trains to be introduced onto the Network that I actually remember there being. And the Desiros - dont know, just do!!

I also forgot to mention tho, 377s and 375s
