Any journey over half an hour and you should be guaranteed a seat !

Pavorosi,

What First Trans Pennine express needs more coaches on between Manchester and Hudderfield/Leeds. Your right about the seats being comfy.

The track and the infrastructure that Pendolinos have to crash over every day, I am amazed that the stock survives as long as it does.

Just been on a trip across europe on the continents best trains, I noticed some interesting comparisons and I will post a new thread on it
