The first leg of the journey was in twilight, with stunning views of the Wessex farmland.

The train was a DMU, older model, a bit loud but with much more comfortable seats than I found on Southern or Southwest
-
The DMU on the second leg of the journey also had very comfy seats. The passengers on both trains were much more considerate too, no litter!
-
Overall conditions on the train were good--my only serious complaint was crippling lack of leg room
-
Other issues--announcements never mention the next stop until you're practically in it, which made me scramble to be ready to depart
-
Also, what exactly is the point of having high platforms if you then raise the train doors even higher, requiring a step? Very silly...
-
The train I'm on now is loco-hauled (boooo), with wifi, power outlets, very high backed seats, tons of leg room (yaaaay)
-
I have been using my old phone to take pictures, but that phone isn't readable by my laptop, so I will poast upon my return to the USA
-
Miscellaneous commentary: - Heart of Wessex Line is crying out for a Joyful Train - Platform and onboard announcements need jingles
-
Addendum: the Welsh accents on this current train are too adorable/incomprehensible for words
