Standard-class interiors of a Pendolino 390 of Virgin West Coast seen at London-Euston, upon arrival from Manchester-Piccadilly.

Airline-style seats.

There is no armrest near the window but a long, not very convenient side rail, instead...

Correct amount of legroom, and a modern, bright atmosphere. But seats are hard and very upright, especially down the back. I would strongly recommend to bring a little pillow, especially when travelling between London and anywhere North of Preston...
