Quote East Midlands Railways unveils newly designed seats for state-of-the-art Aurora fleet Completely unique seats offering enhanced comfort Seats easier to clean, maintain and more durable Every passenger has access to power and USB point Passengers travelling on East Midlands Railway?s (EMR) Aurora trains will be able to sit back and relax thanks to unique seats specifically designed for the company?s new fleet. Working closely with Derby-based design firm DGDESIGN, EMR has taken the proven product of a FISA Lean seat and refined it to offer enhanced comfort and support. It has also improved the appearance to match what they believe customers expect from an InterCity service seat. The seat rework has included increasing the size of cushions, headrests and armrests and making sure that high quality durable materials are used throughout, such as a wool-rich moquette and leather.

Why am I thinking they look exactly identical to the seats in the GWR 800 class ::) ::) Title: Re: East Midlands Railways - newly designed seats for Aurora fleet Post by: infoman on January 15, 2021, 09:09:56 If I had my way their would be ONE coach with ALL table seats, and the coach's would be two by two seating

If it is "good" why change it ?
"enhanced comfort" ..........they will go from b****y uncomfortable to just plain uncomfortable !
