The new Eurostar trains. Are they an upgrade?

Well NO. You would think for 1.3 BILLION $$$$$$ They would have made some improvements? But oh no. In fact they made them worse. They have decided from all your complaints about space and chairs to actually DECREASE the seat sizes. Yes you heard correctly, they made the seats bloody smaller! WHY OH WHY!? Grrrrr....... Then they decided to take away the comfy head rests and replace them with brittle andplastic, and if that isnt enough they place a totaly useless light on ur seat which is so weak and projected in such a pointless angle that u wonder why they bother. The menu in business class isnt much better either, let me explain why. The food you get when you take your next flight is treated bearing in mind ur taste buds do not work in the same fashion due to the atmospheric pressure. So as you can understand allot of thought goes into which foods to offer (or not with some airlines and ticket classes).

Anyway, it appears eurostar has taken the same atmospheric considerations when deciding which meals to provide, WHY!? We going 250 to 290klm on ground level which means you should be considering restaurant food not airline food! Grrrr.......
Staff are super friendly, but again your now paying more for even less space than was already less before, so technically you have less of less. Kinda reminds me of my student days, when I had an overdraft, what a wonderful feeling knowing u have not just 0 but you have an overdraft! Thats how the seats made me feel, and its not just economy its in business too.
