The doorway designs on the S-8s are such that it is difficult to stand next to them the way one would on an A-stock train. When is D-Day for the A-stocks, BTW? And, as I understand: Gone are the high backed seats, Gone are a lot of seats. the luggage racks and the umbrella hooks. To make matters worse Chiltern no longer call at all Met. Fast stops. |

Everything I have read tells me that the trains are not ideal for a London to Amersham journey. I wouldn't go that far from my one trip (between Kings Cross St Pancras and Great Portland Street). They seem OK to me, given that A stock is hardly ideal for London-Amersham either, IMHO. The new trains have fewer seats, which are much harder, and most are longitudinal. It's noticeable that the transverse seats are much more popular. However, I agree that the squishy seats in the venerable A stock are also not back-friendly, and the compressor racket, scratched windows, etc are off-putting too. |
