On Newcastle United matchdays, when the TransPennine train between York and Newcastle often stops not only at Darlington and Durham, but also at Northallerton and Chester-le-Street, all carriages are squashing-room only even before the train reaches Durham, routinely the busiest station as it is packed with match-goers.<\/p>\n<p>The fundamental problem is that the vast majority of First TransPennine Express trains &#8211; 51 out of\u00a0a total fleet of 71\u00a0&#8211; consist of only three carriages. These are the British Rail Class 185 Desiro, a diesel train built by Siemens in Germany expressly for TransPennine at a cost of \u00a3260 million back in 2003. The three cars altogether have a capacity of 154 seats, with an additional 15 for first class passengers. By\u00a0contrast the InterCity 225, the main\u00a0train in the Virgin fleet, has\u00a0406 standard and 129 first class seats, for a capacity of 535.<\/p>\n<p>So especially on a matchday, the First TransPennine Express is an inanity, an irrelevance for people who can&#8217;t get on the train or know better than to try, and a grave annoyance for those who suffer to find themselves aboard. There simply isn&#8217;t enough room, and everyone becomes miserable.<\/p>\n<p>Worse than the lack of carriages, the Class 185 Desiro is designed like a willfully inferior underground train. At the very least, the London Underground rolling stock consists of four-car trains: most have between six and eight carriages, with between 234 and 306 seats.<\/p>\n<p>But the issue with the design of these decidedly un-Desiros is that, like most underground trains, they have no vestibules. Some of us prefer to stand alone between carriages than to sit amongst people, whether solely to stand, because we prefer the relative isolation, or to listen to music, for instance, without having to worry and wonder about the location of quiet zones.<\/p>\n<p>The Class 185 Desiro, with narrow aisles and some seats which face inwards, captures and holds people within\u00a0large communal spaces of the sort that wouldn&#8217;t have been conceived even in Soviet Russia. At least communal apartments afforded families their own rooms. For the same experience we would have to go farther back still, to the izba, old peasant huts which could crowd ten into a single small living quarters, leaving at least a couple to sleep atop the stove.<\/p>\n<p>These First TransPennine Express trains\u00a0are more mobile\u00a0bath houses than models of modern travel. Man does not love his fellow man this much. At the very least we should be able to raise our arms and find the space\u00a0and the privacy in which to read our tablets and phones.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What&#8217;s hot on the\u00a0First TransPennine Express is the people,\u00a0who find themselves rudely\u00a0pressed together on these trains which even the most overexcited anorak &#8211;\u00a0damp long before he starts sweating\u00a0&#8211; must admit are\u00a0unfit for purpose.
