    Long Distance (LD) fleet replacement discussion (2022 - 2024Q1)

    Oh 💯💯 spot on brother. Especially where this would work (in my humble opinion) is for single level LD trains ( Atlantic Coast Service, Crescent, LSL, Cardinal). As long multilevels the seat pitch mirrors the Superliner coaches with plenty of room when the seat is reclined and the leg rest in use.
