              \n

            • Luggage space under berths<\/strong> is tighter than in normal economy coaches\u2014expect limited room: roughly 50\u00d740\u00d720\u202fcm luggage fits<\/li>\n
            • Some describe the onboard experience as chaotic<\/strong>, especially during peak crowding. While it’s fully reserved, it’s often overcrowded due to fare-driven demand<\/li>\n
            • With coach conversion to LHB 3E rakes<\/strong>, the middle side berth is removed\u2014improving ventilation and space slightly\u2014but leg room remains tight<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
