For you maybe not but they will be working some significantly longer routes.
Many of which will also be covered by the Stadler units. If the view is important, choose your train carefully. This really is a train enthusiasts problem rather than a real-world problem.
And - as I said - those passengers joining the train at those far flung outposts that are, ooh, an hour's journey away will be able to choose a seat with a view as the train will not be rammed that far out.
This is all about moving as many people as possible. I can't imagine that the view out of the window trumped squeezing in more seats. Those of us that rarely have seen a seat in the peak - and who will not have a choice of seat - really do not care about the view. There's not really much to see between Shenfield and Liverpool Street anyway.
Which leads us to........
A reminder that the #1 item on the specification was "More seats. No, that's not enough, more"
They're for commuting not sightseeing. And 90% + of people will be able to see out of the window anyway. And have you been on a commuter train recently? The view that most people seem to want is that of their phone or tablet's screen.
