Three things are certain in life: death, taxes and Thameslink commuters experiencing back pain. Great British Railways has unveiled the newly designed seats meant to replace its infamous ‘ironing board seats’, and they look pretty good. CEO John Whitehurst claims they’ll be “a lot springier” and that commuters will “sink into the chair” during a “blissful journey”. So how much will this cost us? That’s probably the best part of all of this. This revamp won’t cost taxpayers anything, with the costs covered through the company’s contract with Siemens. #UKNews #London #Thameslink #Trains #GreatBritishRailways
