Where is the Effin Sea ?

Must be Canada.

 

Cracking items come from it.

It wasn't a capital E, mate.

Is that a joke ?

 

The tartan train interior on the left is the original tilting train from the 1970s, the APT. It has a window area per coach of about 19 sq m.

The other train is a Pendolino's with a window area of about 10 sq m.

One is bigger than the other by around 90% (that's ninety, as in nine zero, percent) : 

 

Left is on a Pendolino, right is a class 222 (used from Sheff to London) :

 

 

But the best view, particularly when being hauled by a steam train, is by leaning out of the drop light, just watch out for possible cinders in your eye....

Whose the train driver, Prince Charming?😀

    How many millions of fare paying passengers did the very uncomfortable APT carry?  

    When were the APT, 390 or 222 allowed on the West Highland Line?

You are stooping rather here.

The failure of the APT was nothing whatsoever to do with it's large (by modern standards) windows.

 

  >>When were the APT, 390 or 222 allowed on the West Highland Line?<<

 

Who said they were (though why would 222s be banned from it anyway) ?

I am simply stating a fact, modern rolling stock has a worse view out than older rollingstock, and the pictures prove it beyond doubt.

In fact it is not just the size of the windows and the lack of care in to seat /window alignment, it is that incredibly annoying habit that some train company's have of putting ruddy great transfers all over the windows (and bus companies are even worse) :

Aren't you mixing up Adam Ant and the Bay City Rollers ? ! ?

Anyone know the window area ratios of an Airbus 350 in comparison to a Boeing 777?

Actually Boeing deliberately designed the 787 ("Dreamliner") with larger windows and it's one of its selling points.

So, it seems, Boeing are going in the opposite (and very welcome) direction to the bus and train companies.

Not sure what you mean, maybe you're not bothered about seeing out of a plane, or any other form of transport come to that ?

Unless you're trolling of course.

 No,  I’m fascinated.

 

Do you happen to know the window: fuselage ratio for an Airbus 350, by any chance. 
 

People have been asking me about it all day

No you are trolling.

Haven't you got anything better to do ?

Having said that, if you are not, and you really are not bothered about the windows on planes, if we're ever on the same plane as you and you're in a window seat, then you could give up your window seat for my lad. Particularly if we're on a wide body plane, you can go and sit in the middle section.....
