That's why the refurbished Connex Comengs have less structures, seats
are less comfortable compared with old rolling stocks, this is to go
against vandalism. Same with Cityrail's Tangara having very stiff
seats. I assume those new Siemens and Alstom trams/trains would be less
comfortable then current trains. Also Hitachis are getting old, require
replacement.

I think those newly refurbished Comengs might have extra strength for
agaisnt damage window/window frame.

They do help to catch them.

Totally agree. At least one CSR per train would do a lot of help and
make passengers feel safer.
