Probably something about visual references, and the conflict between what the eyes are seeing and the movement being experienced?he had a very good explanation how and why it shouldn't happen so much on them but I can't remember what it was
Thank fuck not everyone goes along with your defeatist "we should just put up with what we're given" attitude.All you're going to get back is a "Thanks for your complaint, but we're not going to do anything about it" response. Honestly I don't know what you expect them to do? They're not going to replace their whole fleet just because a few people don't like them.
I understand your comments about the positioning of some of the seating and the availability of window views on the Pendolino trains. This is fairly usual on the more modern rolling stock, and is due to the fact that the design is more cylindrical and curved, so as to aid with the trains’ tilt operation.
We have considered the possibility of removing the windowless seats from the reservation systems, however we feel that as this would often prevent groups from being able to book seats together, this would be counter-productive.
In light of this, I am sorry you also felt the seats were not of adequate comfort, they have been designed with the maximum level of comfort possible but we will consider your comments for future.
Still, if enough people keep on complaining....
Yeah, you're right. I should never complain or kick up a fuss but should just quietly put with whatever I'm given because they clearly know best.Told you so. I'm not sure why you were expecting anything else, or what, in reality, you expected them to do about it?
Please don't post up random stuff and try and attribute it to me. Thanks.In other words you have no idea what you wanted them to do about it. I see.
Um what? I asked a direct question, you evaded it.Please don't post up random stuff and try and attribute it to me. Thanks.

The voyagers are a different matter - they could easily be made longer.
I don't think so, but thanks for the lovely screen grab anyway.Did ed just pwn himself here:
Won't happen on Cross-Country, though - the routes are too busy and they won't sacrifice the seats. Best thing you can do there is be really sad, find their diagrams online and make sure you travel when it's an HST rather than a shitty Voyager!
WTF are you complaining about? It is clearly stated which seats have a limited view on Virgin's seating plans:http://www.virgintrains.co.uk/assets/pdf/global/seating-plan.pdfI would have thought it was rather obvious. I don't want them to offer seats with no windows, for starters, or if they do, offer a discount. Or at least make it clear when buying the ticket.
Oh yes, I bet everyone reads that when they're booking a train.WTF are you complaining about? It is clearly stated which seats have a limited view on Virgin's seating plans:http://www.virgintrains.co.uk/assets/pdf/global/seating-plan.pdf
Strange then that their adverts should promote the view from the window as a major part of their appealAnd why should you get a discount? You're not paying for a view, or a seat, you're paying to be taken from A to B.
The information is there, if you can't be bothered to look at it then whose fault is that? It's not Virgin's that's for sure.Oh yes, I bet everyone reads that when they're booking a train
If you sit at a window you do get a view. Your train ticket is for being taken from A to B, nothing more.Strange then that their adverts should promote the view from the window as a major part of their appea
Most trains do have windows for every seat and you can't always reserve seats for every journey.The information is there, if you can't be bothered to look at it then whose fault is that? It's not Virgin's that's for sure.
As for me, I'll kick up a fuss and I really aren't bothered what you think about that.
I'm not bothered what one particularly tedioius poster with a bee in his bonnet thinks. HTH.If you "really aren't bothered what you think about that" why have you posted your thought on a bulletin board?
If anyone's tedious, and has got a bee in his bonnet, it's you. The information you claim to require is freely available to anyone who wants it, yet you feel compelled to pontifcate on here about it, as if it doesn't exist. TBH, knowing you, I'm surprised you didn't blame Apple.I'm not bothered what one particularly tedioius poster with a bee in his bonnet thinks. HTH.
Old trains were better
Sounded awesome too
Apple? Blimey, you really are truly desperate for a fight. LOL.If anyone's tedious, and has got a bee in his bonnet, it's you.

See, I don't understand what is wrong with the design of locomotive + carraiges and I don't mean just from a nostalgic point of view. It feels like we've been sold a big fib about 'improving standards' when you've got these inflexible and cramped trains that get to london about 10 minutes quicker than this sort of train I remember from 20 years ago.
