The worst train in Britain is the one used by South West Trains on its commuter lines. The seats were designed by a powerful supercomputer to be as uncomfortable as humanly possible.

I went on the Watercress Line (heritage steam railway thing) a couple of years back and was amazed to find little headreasts on the side of the seats in the carriages. Truly progress has gone into reverse in the past 40 years.

South-West Trains doesn't even have a bloody wi-fi connection on what is supposedly one of the country's busiest commuter lines (From Bournemouth to Waterloo via Reading)
