Thanks for the kind comment! Took quite a while to find a 458 where one was at Vauxhall but it didnt show what platform and it was on the opposite side 😂 As soon as i found one at Waterloo, my train to another place was about to depart, but i will get around soon to do a 458 video before they go.
Great video mate, I just re-downloaded RU-vid because my mate told me about you, I’m going to follow you and comment and like on all your videos, thanks for making be download RU-vid again I hope I can be like you!😊
Thanks for the kind comment! After the video ended at FTN/450 I got a train back to Portsmouth Harbour (PMH) and got a Wightlink FastCat to Ryde where i will do 2 separate videos, one on the Class 484s from Shanklin > Ryde Pier Head, and the Steam Train there too! Hope that makes sense :D
I think your reviews like many other don't seem to take into account that all these different trains you review are for different types of services and service patterns, and therefore should be looked at for that manner. For example your comments about flip down tables throughout the video - on a short commuter journey which is on average an hour or less, are they really needed? Same applies to seat comfort, it is appropriate for the journey it provides. Obviously on a longer journey the seat comfort and the tables are important, but in SWR's metro and commuter zones they are suited for the journey time Additionally regarding the seat space on the 701, they have the same spacers as found on the 450, 458 and 707, however the difference is the seat cushion is larger and therefore covers it over. However the seat itself is still the same size. Have a look behind one of the 701 seats and you'll see the spacer
Short commuter journeys do not necessarily need flip-back tables but I do see what you mean. And for the 701, It was not in service when I got to Waterloo as from the station schedule 6/7am > 1pm, which I will do a further to account review, the seats are small but as you say it does cover over but reminds me of one of those seats on Great Northern's Trains and Thameslinks. Thanks for the long but informative comment!
