ThamesLink Class 700 Review - Good Commuter Trains?

[@ElijahsTransport]

Great video! I hate the seats!!! Rock solid

[@ReecesTrains]

Thanks, Elijah!! I wish designers these days would take passenger comfort into much more consideration...

[@Thornaby37]

As well as the ironing board seats, another criticism of the 700s is not having doors between the coaches, so you can often hear rowdy groups of people or somebody playing loud music from 2 or 3 coaches away

[@ReecesTrains]

I agree with that, this is also the same thing on Northern's Class 195 and 331's.

Good video again Reece! Yep...700's are quite basic really. No good for a long journey such as Bedford - Brighton. Ok for short commuter journeys. 👍🙂

[@ReecesTrains]

Thanks. Yes, some criticisms with these trains here sadly.

[@elijah_trains]

Ah the famous iron bord seat. Great video

[@ReecesTrains]

Thanks! Yes, they are genuinely uncomfortable...

@@elijah_trains I am not looking forward to trying those seats out when I eventually try a GWR IET! 😂

@@ReecesTrains 😂😂 I did a mini review on them from didcot parkway to reading and trust me you don’t want to be on those for hours even with its bright lighting
