Interiors of a PTSOShop car of Pendolino 390 of Virgin West Coast seen at London-Euston, upon arrival from Manchester-Piccadilly.
This car has a Standard-class saloon (48 seats, in the background), a small office for the guard (in the middle) and a shop where Standard-class passengers can treat themselves.
The food section stands on the left. Passengers just choose what they want and pay at the counter. Overall, junk food prevails. Real food is for First-class passengers only, who have an at-seat service, included in the fare and provided from a large galley located in the Cab/First-class car.
