To have the seats and windows lined up should have been a fundamental requirement at the outset. I cannot understand why they were not designed that way. To sit in a large airline type window seat without a window is just too much for me. I have taken the option of standing rather then subject myself to the unbearable claustrophobia. (and I can spell it!)

Just an afterthought. Most people think of compartment stock on heritage railways. What is being written about here is a FO or TO - First Open or Third Open - known to the LMS (eg Peak Rail) as a Tourist Open.
