NEW NEX

I took the new Narita Express E259 series train for the first time. They put a 2-2 abreast seating configuration on Green Car of this new model. The smell of brand-new leather seats is not bad, but I prefer solo seats of an older 2-1 abreast configuration. This is an example of "downgraded" service.

新しい成田エクスプレス、E259系に初めて乗る。グリーン車は2-2の座席配置になった。真新しいレザーシートの匂いは悪くないが、以前の2-1座席配置のソロシートの方がよっぽど良い。サービス「格下げ」の一例。
