If anyone ends up riding this train, I'd be interested to hear what you think. Let CT know as well.

I've been on one, way off-peak. Not a fan of the total lack of padding and I think the seats might be shallower (or they just feel that way) ... it makes you feel like if you're not sitting totally straight you might slide off. The bench is the way to go though. Seems like they might also be improved if the benches didn't have that gap (visible in this photo), but that's a very minor thing.
