I could sit in a tait from Melbourne to Sydney, if that's what I was 
offered. The first class seats, found in the T cars are even more 
comfortable still. I've been on a number of all-day fan trips in these Tait 
cars, and would say that they are a more comfortable ride than the V set. 
When you get to your destination, while you are sitting slide the door 
open, stand up and walk out. I summer leave the door open for fresh air.

A Tait would do a better job. Anyway, other than the Taits, yes, the V sets 
are my next favourite EMU.
