Hi Anita,

I didn't say I hate the V-sets completely, they are very good trains to
travel on especially the newer seats (new green vinyl). I don't like the old
orange (part-cloth) seats because it becomes dirty easily. I wish the doors
on the V-sets can be opened automatically rather than I have to turn the
handle to open. And the some of the V-set looks odd - bit of an eyesore to
me (converted trailer front look facing the middle normal trailers) when the
driving motors are converted to trailers. (Remember - all are my opinion
only as some will disagree with me on here and that).

As I said before Tangara has problems here and there like fogging windows -
same with V-sets, fixed cloth seats which are hard & dirty easily (T-sets
only) and doors don't close properly or open properly especially in the
middle between carriages which irritates me. The Tangaras are one of my
favourite trains because I like the modern look - my opinion.

Please name the design or mechanical problems you think the Tangara has
problems with??? ie. fogging windows etc.

Cheers.
