I think how comfortable you find a train depends on what you’re expecting. For example, the first time I caught a 175 was when I was expecting a 142 or 150. This meant that when I boarded the 175 I was very impressed.
Likewise, when I first caught a 185 I knew the train would be either a 158 or 185, the exterior temperature was about 30oC, this meant that I found the 185 with air conditioning causing a cool temperature on board very refreshing. When I caught a 185 from Blackpool to Manchester, having travelled up to Blackpool on a 156, I found the seats were a bit hard.
