Yes, they have taken a leaf out of the budget airlines book: cramped hard seats, if you are over four foot six then you will need physiotherapy at Paddington.
Odd, i prefer these seats to the old ones, as i'm 6ft.
so much more room than the old HST▸ (High Speed Train)'s at least a good 3 inches of leg room. compared to none in the old hst's.
The new refurbs are a vast improvement
