Siemens built over 100 class 700 trainsets (up to 12 cars long) for Thameslink in the UK and, even though their seats aren't very comfy, they are very reliable trains!

Siemens made the Class 707, one of the most reliable trains in the country, compared to the terrible Alstom-made 701. Says it all really.

The Siemens units have incredibly uncomfortable seats - a bed of nails would have more give in it. The interior decor is more drab and depressing than a 1960s kitchen sink drama, and they also have to be operated as 12 car units all the time, which is incredibly inefficient. Apart from that they’re great.

Once the new trains are in service, I will definitely look for 1896 every time I ride on the Piccadilly Line. Then I'll remember that I saw that unit under construction on Geoff's video. I only come to London occasionally, by way of Heathrow. I either go to Hounslow Central to stay in a hotel. Or even if I transfer terminals, if I have enough time, I do it landside on the Piccadilly line.

I was telling people the small windows likely aren't for AC ducts to run through and yet everyoneee insisted it was. Even major blog authors wrote that it was the reason for the small windows and i've not had a single person on Reddit or in person agree with me. But the reason they gave for why they need to make the windows tiny like a airplane still doesn't make sense. Because the train is aluminium? But the new Glasgow "tube" trains you done a video on are also aluminium and they have giant panoramic windows, like twice as big as even the current pic line windows. I'm sure out of the probably 100 metro trains worldwide there are other aluminium ones. So the reasoning doesn't add up. And either way it would explain why the windows have to be narrow but not why they have to be so short. Narrow would be fine if they were at least all. The door windows aren't exactly big either. Tbh I think it's just bad design, but I get why you wouldn't question anything they say because you want to keep getting invited to stuff so you just smile and wave.
