I really can't see a problem with the 144s apart from the Richmond seating which makes the interiors claustrophobic.

The problem with most 142s and 150s is having three seats on one side of the aisle and two on the other side and yet still having less seating overall than a 156. I actually found a 142 more like a greenhouse the other week when a fault with the train meant that the heaters wouldn't turn off unless the engine was turned off.
