So, on the weekend, went on a Virgin Pendolino train for the first time. On my outward journey the train was packed and I'd gotten an earlier train so had no seat booked. It felt very dark and gloomy, looked a bit like a narrow airplane. I didn't really see what the fuss was about until my return journey! It was empty, had a window seat, could see out windows either side of the train. It's really cool seeing the train tilt through the corners and only being able to see sky out of one window
