Actually, I don't mind the N cars - they have semi-compartment seating in
the Economy cars (the *FN's) - basically, they are four across- 2+2 with a
central aisle - but the seats are arranged in fixed pairs with a central
table, with a wooden partition between the backs of seats (hard to explain,
but the best I can do). Basically, imagine a compartment (like the BRS in
Victoria) that has only two seats in it, and the partition between
compartments stops about 2 feet short of the roof. That is most of the
economy N class, not sure if the ones they are using have been refurbished.
