Didn't knew these! Somehow they seemed low from the picture, but I found an official page with some technical info, which indicates heights near 4400 mm. So there is the usual loading/unloading problem, but it is at least spacious?

Well, it depends on whether all the seats are full or not. Both of those are 3+2 seating across, but at least they are reversible seats. The most comfortable ride are the old V-sets for the longer runs ... to Newcastle, to the Blue Mountains, to Wollongong.

They have 2+2 reversible seats.

These were the trains I rode the most often, when I was commuting from Newcastle three or four days a week to teach at the Central Coast, and when I had to go to Sin City. Indeed, this was the last type of train I rode in Australia, since there was trackwork the day I flew out and it was a bus from Sydney Central Station to the airport.

I've been accused of being a Marxist, yet while Harpo's my favourite, it's Groucho I'm always quoting. Odd, that.
