The top spending on online shopping in Asia

Despite the economic crisis, consumers' car.elegant-auto.co.uk ostsee previews.superior-car.co.uk online spending in Asia last year were slightly higher than twelve months earlier. The report prepared by Visa shows that in 2008 people in Australia, Japan, India, South Korea, Hong Kong and Singapore made the purchases at an average of $ 3,109 online. "Our Bwin bonus Urlaub bauernhof Polen used cars study shows that online retailers appear to be robust in uncertain economic times," - said Mohamad Hafidz, regional head of the Visa e-commerce.

From my occasional travels on the NLL, I get the impression that most of the pax are only travelling a few stops, so having to stand may not be too unacceptable. Although you're right that these are technically suburban EMUs, in practise they seem to be used more like inner London Tube services, so having similar seating may be OK. I think it's less acceptable to have longitudinal seating on longer distance S stock routes (anywhere beyond Harrow). When I used to commute peak-hours on the NLL (Highbury to Frognal), the issue was being able to physically get on the train. Seats were a very long way from a priority for anyone. Removing the 3rd seat from the 313s (making them 2+2 with a wide aisle) has significantly improved the travelling experience, on the couple of times I've used full NLL trains since they made the change. I'm sure that longitudinal seating will be similarly helpful. Agreed. There'll undoubtedly be copious comment on these newsgroups to the effect that this signals the end of the world - however I doubt any of those making such comments will ever have travelled on the NLL in the crush hours (and the same applies to a slightly lesser extend the WLL). If people are going to be indignant about this, I'd heartily recommend they actually go and experience it for real. Additionally, as Recliner has said, the NLL and WLL at least are heavily used for relatively short hops - few passengers are making anything like end-to-end journeys, especially during the peaks (that comment applies only to the NLL - the WLL is so short that whilst many are making an end-to-end journey, it's still a short hop). The NLL does indeed have strong similarities to a Tube line, and the WLL service would if it were more frequent (which it will be). I admit I'm less familiar with the DC Lines service in particular during peak times, so perhaps the seating arrangements might cause some consternation up that way. The ELL meanwhile will perhaps be a bit of a mix between the NLL and DC Lines - I'd expect it to be very heavily used towards the centre in particular for short hops ala the NLL, but it might also have some of the characteristics of the DC Lines in that it stretches out to a town centre on the edge of London (i.e. Croydon). We'll see how things work out and how the seating goes down when extended ELL services start next year. But I'd strongly urge people to consider the layout in the context of (a) the route the new trains will be running on and (b) the issues with crush-loading that it experiences. And go for a ride on the NLL at busy times... if you dare!- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Whatever seating there is, the crucial thing is a properly bounded standback area around the doors. The 376s are a disaster because the standback area is full of obstructions and doesn't allow for people with legs. The experimental layout on the DLR a few years back was an even worse disaster, because there was no boundary to the the standback area, and no one was prepared to lean on seated people's heads. The SWT 455 refurbishment is a helluva good job given the raw materials, and should be the basis for everything.
