The first time I travelled in one, I was allocated a seat at the end
of the coach where the first window didn't start till well beyond the
high seat back in front of me.

There was a completely pointless ledge which I couldn't get my elbow
on because there was only about six inches of space above it (my upper
arm has a shoulder above it that has to go somewhere).  If I let my
arm hang down, this ledge then dug into me.

I am not very large, and nor was the woman next to me, but I had to
spend the whole three-hour journey with my body twisted because there
was no room for my shoulders.

The space is unnecessarily reduced by three inches of hollow plastic
cladding on the walls.

A horrible and painful experience.  They are a disgrace.
