One of the train companies here are using a 3 coach commuter train for long intercity travel. It's extremely unpleasant, people are always standing in the aisle and sitting on their suitcases by the doors.

I honestly have no idea why they can't just... make the train longer?! The 30 min frequency is not an issue for me, although it isn't great. The constant overcrowding on the other hand is horrible.
