The Comeng sets in Melbourne are certainly a lot more comfortable than some
of the old sets in Sydney - wooden seats with a plastic cover.  And facing
one another must be better than half the carriage one way and the other half
the other (like on suburban Tangaras)?  When you open the windows, doesn't
it get really loud?

Anyway, I believe both Melbourne and Sydney need major upgrading.
