313 seats aren't that bad ngl

I think they are a bit like southern 3+2 seating on 377s which are just slightly more padded ironing board seats.
Yeah and they're a bit similar to the seats on the Class 455

The same but with different moquette and added armrests I believe.
A different make to the Fainsa seats though, which are those most commonly referred to as ironing boards.

Is there a source for one unit to be withdrawn next month?

No idea . I probably would guess it's 217

The Southern 313 and 455 were fitted with the same seats but a different pattern on the moquette. They’re also found on Class 172, a train I really rather hate travelling on.Definitely softer than those . Was on the tour and I had a sore bum I gonna tell you that
Yes, I said Fainsa, and although I meant the type used on 387s/700s, etc, Fainsa make the IET seats too. They’re called Sophias.Definitely softer than those . Was on the tour and I had a sore bum I gonna tell you that

Are they ? The 313 seats feel softer

Yes, as given away by the position of the dents in the cushion, and the seatback design.

Had a ride on 313205 today . It was fairly smooth unlike 212 which I had Sunday

I'm not sure, but I think this thread might be dedicated for actual updates on the withdrawal process. The "Trip Planning and Reports" section is a great sub-forum for you to post your daily experiences on the 313s if you fancy making a thread on there about your trips out on the coastway.

Thank you very much.

I am still pondering the source for one unit that will be withdrawn. Someone posted that is would be but didn’t provide a source

Don't expect the allocations to be posted every day. They are done out of goodwill and when the owner has time. We've already had one forum member upset him
And I'm sure once units officially start being withdrawn, we will know about it. Speculate all you like

No I wasn’t expecting it, I was purely asking which ones are out if someone knew? I wasn’t necessarily expecting anything.
Other people seem to ask which ones are out but know one bats an eyelid?
