>>1133158They seemingly haven't come up with anything yet, but the later E4s still have a few years in them. They're also aluminium so presumably don't degrade as badly as the E1. Maybe JR East will just wind down services as they near the end and save them for the crowded ski runs and commuter runs. Nobody likes that 3-3 non reserved. It's got to be a narrower seat than the 3-4-3 A350s some lunatics ordered
Speed is a problem unless they can make a quieter double decker design. Maybe on the other hand, we'll see the Joetsu go back to 275 km/h
