Exiled in Express
Lead Service Attendant
Even musing this question tells me I have spent too much time in Superliner coach overnight lately, but if anyone will know it is you guys.
I have noticed that in the night settings the lights over the aisle have different configurations, the one that inhibited my sleep has the blue filter over half and just a semitransparent white filter over the other half which leads to a lot of light still making it through. On my next journey I found the lighting issue to be much improved and noticed the blue half was still present but the white portion was blocked by something solid and the only light was coming around the edges. The situation was the same for the entire car length, not a one off alteration.
Is this a setting the car attendant can apply or is it just a benefit of the refurbishment (the excessive lighting car had a knob for the leg rest while the preferred car had the slide bar.) Petty yes but when you can't sleep on a train you have plenty of time to ponder these things.
