My First Ride In A Class 720 Train

Today, I took my first ride in one of Greater Anglia‘s Class 720 train.

It was only between Liverpool Street and Stratford.

Notes and questions.

1. Are all of the individual seats identical and can they be arranged as ones, twos or threes as required?
2. Could this mean, that Greater Anglia could create a 2 + 2 version with tables. if they felt such a train was necessary for some routes?
3. The details like luggage racks, wheelchair spaces and power sockets seem to be of a high standard.
4. The ride seemed smooth. But if I was going between Liverpool Street and Norwich, I’d prefer to ride in one of Greater Anglia’s Stadler trains.
5. The last picture is of the seats in a Class 345 train, as I wanted to judge a comparison.
6. The Class 720 seat appears to my posterior to be slightly more comfortable, than the Class 345 seat.

This train is more than just a high-capacity suburban trundler.
