THE NEW NEX

I took the new Narita Express E259 series EMU for the first time. It has a 2-2 abreast seating configuration on Green Car. The smell of the brand new leather seats is not bad, but I prefer the solo seat of the older 2-1 abreast configuration. This is an example of the downgraded service by JR.

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。JRによるサービス「格下げ」の一例。
