Great pics. Can you please share your experience regarding the amenities, effectiveness of sliding doors / vestibules / forced air circulation, general comments from commuters, etc.?

Re# 1401473-6              
yes sure...was abt to review it..
1) lets begin from the exterior..as seen the coached sport a shiny bright color, quite similar to the current ones, but since the coach is new probably the color seems more appealing..and will live until cleanliness is maintained:-) also as seen wr can be seen in huge letters which was missing previously
2) second class gen seats are comfy, seats
Made
...
more...
of pvc probably and they do sport a grey sort of color, as opposed to prev blue color. First class seats are cushioned, cant comment but
3) door sliding could not try...peak hr travelling, but i am not sure if these are already fitted with auto sliding doors
4) aeration seems almost on par with the current coaches...
5) leg space b/w seats seems ok
6) one new feature is the middle pole at thedoor is a bit inside and is split in two bars from the middle, but this may seem inconvenient esp during rush hour
7) led displays were not working, but probably these are both side illuminating ones...but announcements were made of upcoming stations
8) one good and benefitting feature is the holding support handles hanging from the ceiling are also split in two so that two persons can easily hold on to...esp during rush hour...
else cant recall now...if any shall post it..hope this helps!!!

Thanks for your review!
3) If they were auto sliding, then would have opened at every halt and closed during the move. Did they?

nopes..open thruout...what i meant was i probably had read dat bombardier wud come wid autosliding doors...but as u may be aware dat wr is still in a phase to bring autosliding doors to regular run, so even if these are autosliding, they wud be functioning as normal ones, until trials with passeengers are completed...hope u gt wat
i mean
