It may just be me but I have managed to rip three sets of suit trouser pockets sitting down on HST▸ seat armrests - the latest tonight. The pocket catches on them and by the time my bum hits the seat the pocket is ripped. Question is it just me  of do other people do the same |

The only time I have been close to ripping a pocket is when the arm rest wasn't up fully..

No it's not! Even if they have their arm sitting on it, the armrest is a very important demarcation of personal space. Especially if they're, *cough*, a little larger than average.  |

What I want to know (asked it before) is why the inner arm of the FC‡ seats dont lift up
minor wibble I know but I swear my back has a ridge mark where it sticks in wen I try to sleep of a morning
The inner arm is not attached to anything - just seems they wanted to save money on a hinge! Not a prob when I need a coat - it gets used as padding - but in these temps - back and blue I am!

I don't think you will find any trains in the UK▸ where the inner arm lifts! |

Some of the chapman seats on 150 units have a lifting inner arm , but think in 1st class the inner arm forms part of the seat anchorage points

Since there has not been a rush of others ripping trouser pockets on the armrest - my conclusion It's me!!!! Interesting that arm rests could spark some interesting discussion.

At least those horrible fixed armrests on the old HST▸ carriages have now gone.

I don't think you will find any trains in the UK▸ where the inner arm lifts! Was on a chiltern Clubman last night, and the middle arm lifted. |
