Mind you, the upper deck 2+2 of the German DD sets, especially the
slightly smaller Eastern-style ones, is as bad. The space up there is
only really suited to 2+1. Shoulder room is especially cramped (you
thought UK tilt-profile units were bad...)


It *is* 2 + 1 in first class. I spent 3 hours on one yesterday
morning. I didn't find the gauge impinging too badly on me, and there
was a power point for my laptop.

No carpets though - it doesn't exactly *look* like first class, and so
thought quite a few people who were very bemused when asked by the
gripper to either move to second class or pay a supplement!
