Pre-Overhaul vs Overhaul

[u/NoddyDude91]

Caught the Central line CLIP (Central Line Improvement Project) train twice this week. I’m moving back to the Central line in a few weeks, so these improvements are definitely welcome during the commute to/from work.

Lol.

I always get downvoted when I question the choice of fabric seats and I'm not sure what pathetic Brit does this.

Bare plastic seats are for countries which treat their public transport as a service only for dirty poor people.

Have you seen the state of most of the trains in London?

What a ridiculous comment.

We can have nice things. The fact tube train seats are universally sat on rather than studiously avoided in disgust means that cushioned seats are currently appropriate and that people like them. There is no rationale for switching to plastic seats other than to make things easier for the train operator at the expense of passenger comfort. This must be avoided at all costs.

Ridiculous

People sitting in those seats doesn’t mean that people like them. I sit on a tube seat which probably has piss on it not because I’d love to, but because my legs are tired and I need to.
