Commuters travelling between Portsmouth and London have set up a campaign group to try and change the new trains used on the railway line (links below.) http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/hampshire/6288115.stmhttp://www.no450.co.uk/The protesters said they were angry the seats on the South West Trains (SWT) service were smaller than before. A shake-up of rolling stock led to high density seating , designed for suburban journeys , being introduced on the line. This campaign was featured on my local BBC news programme "South Today" last night. |

I heard this from a member of SWT's staff I spoke to over Christmas at Eastleigh. Apparently people are not happy as there are less tables and those that are in the 450's are too small for people to do paperwork or use laptops

Prehaps these people may want to swap with many FGW Local commuters...

I will intervene here and say that the no450 organisers have signed our petition.

In fairness to SWT, this is pathetic! The passengers ask for more seats & they got, what is the problem with that!
