I had the pleasure to ride on a refurbished 158. http://www.firstgreatwestern.co.uk/Content.aspx?id=1692The seats were very comfort, nice and clean the would of got 10 out of 10 but lost a point as there were no power points on the train at tables. FGW▸ installed power points on the refurbished High Speed Services; Customers travelling up from Portsmouth to Bristol/Cardiff may want to do work on their Laptops. Come on First think again |

most laptops these days have around a 4 hour battery life, so i really dont see the point on having it on non high speed commuter services |

158 alternators are not man enough to cope with the extra power, Wessex initially wanted to install them on their refurbished 158's but couldn't because of this. |

There are not any flip down tables on the airline seats, how can anyone safely have a coffee etc, then again no catering is provided at weekends......

Around Cattistock nr Maiden Newton is a common place to find sheep in the four foot.... Wales (Venturing only as deep as Cardiff you understand..) you are more likely to have stones thrown through the cab window...
