... I've seen that link before, and it looks nice. The 2+1 seating in the larger LRCs (unlike in the narrow Renaissance cars) will definitely be very spacious...
... Peter, The Renaissance cars all feature the 2+1 seating, because there simply isn't space in the narrower European cars to comfortably seat 2+2. The new...
