I also find the former ATN 156s uncomfortable as they have less leg room than the other 156s, so I have to sit with my knees touching the back of the seat in front. Although I am used to travelling on 142s with little leg room. Once when Arriva were running the Transpennine Express franchisee they used one of the ATN 156s on one of the north transpennine routes (I can't remember where it started or finished but it did travel between Leeds and Manchester Piccadilly.) Most of the passengers including myself were unimpressed.
One on occasion wehn I was making a 2 hour journey two 156s joined up arrived to make the journey: a former ATN one and a former FNW one. I didn't hestitate in getting on the former FNW one. The only thing with the former FNW ones is that the carpets are very worn.
