The other problem with the 19.04 is that it is only four coaches,
whilst near all the other services are eight coaches at this time of
day. If the train was lengthened, then it would be comfortable. I'd
hope that this will happen from the December 2008 timetable or when
all the class 321s have been replaced by Desiros as finding a spare
unit will be slightly easier.

Er, wha? The 321s are, as I recall, the most reliable stock in the
UK, the Desiros rather less so. As there will be the same amount of
Desiros as 321s, rather the opposite seems likely.

I had forgotten that train was 4-car, though, and it surprises me that
there isn't enough stock to make it 8. Really, everything should be 8
or 12 except at the crack of dawn on a Sunday, as the loadings
certainly justify it.
