Do you like the S-stock - from a driver's POV that is?
I love them. Comfortable, good driving position, cab air-com (although
it's a bit noisy) and hi-tech controls (which always goes down well with
me!)
It's almost disappointing when a D stock turns up as they are getting
dated and not much loved by the depots these days.
That's great to hear! I like them from a passenger's perspective too
- lots of space, big wide doors, smooth ride.
I agree except for the lack of transverse seats on the S7s. One advantage of
the S8s which I last used.
Yes, I always try and grabs transverse seat on an S8, even a rear facing
one.
Are there any external differences at this point between an S7 and S8?
Or does one need to always look at the seating arrangement/
Earlier, one could tell the difference by the fact that the third number
on an S7 railcar's number was always 3. Now however, that no longer
appears to be the case.
