Thousands of “ironing board” seats will be removed from trains after travellers complained of aching backsides.
The DfT admitted yesterday that recent new trains had “compromised on passenger comfort” by installing hard seats.
It said that replacement cycles on trains would be brought forward to address concerns. The seats will be given extra padding or replaced. New design standards will also ensure that train carriages built in the future are “more comfortable than their predecessors”.
