The new class 700 Siemens trains are even worse than the class 319 stock which it replaces.
- There is nowhere to put a cup of coffee apart from balanced on one's lap. Had the designers never heard of "food to go"? Do they even travel in trains?
- The uncomfortable seats have no spacers in between the pairs so if there is one large person in the window seat, his or her neighbour will be half-way off the seat by the gangway.
- The skirting level duct cuts into the space to put one's feet so that one is forced to sit twisted round.
- The lighting is dim - there is only a strip in the centre of the ceiling.
- What is the reason for the curved shape of the windows?

This is the first article I have seen mentioning the very uncomfortable new trains on Thameslink from Brighton to Bedford. The first time I travelled on one the first thing I noticed was the complete lack of arm rests. The seats can in no way be described as comfortable and I agree the leg room is not adequate. Obviously not designed with comfort in mind. I have only taken them to St Pancras which takes an hour and a half as it crawls through London. I don't think I could tolerate those seats all the way to Bedford.
