The best seat looks like the 2 facing inward behind the driver's cab?

Very very concerned about these new iron-board seats which are NOT at all suitable for long distance travel! Source: https://twitter.com/geofftech/status/1519636052037750785?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet

Can someone tell me why there's loads of luggage racks in a SouthEastern class 376 but no tray tables, but then there’s tray tables on a class 377 but a lot less luggage racks?

So there are separate spaces for wheelchair, buggies and cycles? That's gonna end in arguments. And those route displays are positioned stupidly as you cannot see them while sitting down, unlike Thameslink.

Travel today in first, for the 1st time in a while. There seems to be less first class seating, and if I remember correctly, on the previous layout there where single seats too? Maybe a lot less legroom too? Why the downgrade?

That's very poor with it a step back for disability rights.

Questions 1/ Do they have the same level boarding as the class 332s? 2/ Is there the same amount of luggage space? The 387 GatEx is poor with not enough room for everyone's luggage and overhead racks are useless.

Yes I am not counting the rear section of the 700 as it's declassified. How how 1st class ticket holders reacted? I can imagine a lot of them renewing their season tickets to standard if they often fail to get a seat.

Am I right in saying there are less 1st class seats on the class 700 than there used to be on the old trains before they were introduced? The Southern class 377, for a 12 coach, has at least 60 1st class seats.

Sorry yes, 1028 and 1058.

A Saturday 1110 from Liverpool Street might be a fast service?

What kind of stock can I expect to go on from Liverpool Street to Cambridge (with a 1st class ticket)?

I accidentally thought I was sitting in 1st class as the seats were blue, but after a few seconds realised I was not o_O I wish they kept the red seats!

I find that the Southern class 377s with 1st class at either end or Thameslink 700 at the front are the best positions, because it's very easy to work out where to stand. Most annoying is the South Western 444 with 1st class at one end where it's 50/50 that I'm standing in the right place...

Looking on Twitter, 1st class is not easily identifiable as they have got rid of the antimacassars and window labels?

when i was young I remember the bouncy 1st class seats on slam doors lol

I struggle to get a 1st class seat from East Croydon, I wish they would provide more seating or kick standard class people out.

Was 1st class popular on the previous Turbo routes? I can imagine people coming from Marlow - Paddington have a lot of 1st class commuters?

On the old 319s someone was injured after the door swung into them.

Regarding 1st class provisioning, is there enough? As the 700s came into service, I said that having the rear 1st class declassified was a bad idea as there would be less space for paying 1st class passengers. Do many 1st class passengers find themselves having to stand?
