I want something not too heavy as I am on public transport a lot and will roast

They're probably shopping, CD. Found this , though it doesn't actually meet your description. Some macs on the Debenhams site, but none with removable lining.

CD It is bloody disgusting that the mnetters are too busy cleaning their dining rooms to give urgent assistance
I have been watching this thread for advice and I am appalled by their lack of urgency

Fair enough - what sorts of colours do you like. Lots of black and red around.

cd, i've just bought this in red - was featured in eve fashion recently. i think it is good value for the money - i saw a similar one recently for £179. good quality too.

More black - bit shiny, not sure if that's good or not - would need to see in rl, I think.

I love this M&S one (well I love the blue colour) but it's probably too warm for public transport

I have a black mac from sainsburys that isn't belted and it's done me proud!

I quite like this one aswell - it's not a coat I would wear but would probably see it on someone else and think it looked good.

Thanks

Oh bother. Sorry! Right - I suspect that this is too casual (and maybe too warm) but that this wouldn't be warm enough?

Thanks

They are a bit, in places, but I have some OK stuff from them - you just have to pick and choose. Pretty good quality, imo.
