Finally had my first ride in one yesterday, though only a short electric only run (Paddington to Reading). No original observations, but seats rather hard and the interior really dull looking other than that strange stripe.
What surprised me actually was how many are now in service. From walking alongside the railway lines (between Goring and the Moulsford Bridge) in electric mode the 800s are naturally a lot quieter than the HSTs!
