Recently delivered 9 coach Class 800/3 IET (Intercity Express Train) is seen arriving at Evesham station en route from Great Malvern to London Paddington. Despite looking good, these units have very hard seating lacking any cushioning which is 'enhanced', emphasised perhaps, by harsh riding qualities - not a patch on the HST they are replacing.
