Thameslink’s infamous ‘ironing-board’ seats are FINALLY getting an upgrade… but the internet isn’t convinced 😂🚆 More comfortable journeys are on the way for millions of passengers, with 60,000+ new spring and memory foam cushions set to replace the notorious standard-class seats across all 115 Thameslink trains from next year. The upgrade will also include improved winged backrests and comes at no extra cost to taxpayers, as part of an existing contract between GTR and Siemens Mobility. But after the new seats were put on display, commuters online were quick to point out that they look suspiciously similar to the old ones 👀 New cushions, same ironing board? 😂 #trains #thameslink #uknews
