The one on the aisle I presume you mean? The ones in between the two seats move

That's the one

You are probably as thin as a rake! For some people that has a big bootee it can be a little tight!

I'm not the thinnest person in the world and I can't recall having an issue with my table seat both ways between New Street and Hereford a couple of months ago. The only issue I had is that I had to stand until Bromsgrove on the way to Hereford, but that's to be expected with the time of day I was travelling at. The journey back was a lot better in that regard.

Yep so we're getting 323s which are old uncomfortable  ( worse legroom than 150s) and not air conditioned. Give me a Sprinter any day.  They didn't need to electrify the line really....  maximum 3 carriage trains after electrification then...sure there'll be more seats but it'll be an uncomfortable ride

323's have the most reliable & efficient aircon available. It's called 'opening the windows'...

One of the reasons I travel in the 153 to and from work

The good thing about the 153s having opening windows is it helps get rid of the stench of the filthy interiors and carpets lol

One of them now has a completely new interior, looks much better

Has it? What's been changed? Flooring? That carpet up the walls? Have you seen the ceiling panels on them? Christ knows when they last cleaned em lol

Everything, even all the wall panels by the entrances and toilets have been replaced with much brighter panels, new carpets on the floor and walls and seats recovered. LED lighting by the door vestibles. The only thing they don't seem to have done is cleaned the light diffusers

Has this one been used on the Chase services?

I've just caught it home, it is 153334.

On another subject Modern Railways this month has published that LM hope to have 230001 in service on the Coventry-Nuneaton line occasionally from September. This is hopefully where the 153 for the Coventry-Kenilworth-Leamington service is coming from I referred to earlier
