"I can asure you there are more uncomfortable trains out there. I agree the seats are firm.......For journeys of up to an hour, they are great. Any longer and I wouldn't fancy one."
I live in Newbridge and generally get the Waterford-Heuston train in the mornings. I get a Commuter train three days a week going home. The standard in comfort is unbelievable I feel. For me, comfort entails seating comfort, cleanliness, and ride quality. The 29000 isn't too good in any of these areas.
29000's would be a lot better if somebody just picked up the rubbish every once in a while - or, indeed, people didn't leave their rubbish there in the first place. Why isn't this done? It's nice not to have to take some used tissue off your seat before you sit down...
The Waterford train, the MK3 I think, is far superior. Yet, a customer pays the same price for a ticket no mateer how good / bad the train they will be on is. Surely there shouldn't be such a gap in comfort if there is no gap in price?
Just my opinion.
