Above, some of the nameplates on Virgin trains. Below a
'heritage' train and Pendolino in London's Euston station.
Above is the first-class lounge at Euston, below a Cross Country
Voyager under the rebuilt Liverpool Lime Street train shed.
Next some Virgin interiors. The first two photos are of
first-class cars. The one on the left shows one set up for food
service, the one on the right is of a Pendolino. Notice more
airline style seating and rather distracting sight lines. The next two
photos show club class and coach seating on a Voyager. Virgin still
serves free food to first class and club class passengers (Voyagers do
not have first class seating per se). On some intercity trains with
first class accomodations full meals are provided. Voyager food is more
simple -- sandwiches and snacks. I've noticed some deterioration in
food service over the past few years, though Virgin, in my experience,
is the only company to still provide free food. Other companies do
offer restaurant services which have some very enticing and freshly
cooked meals -- for a hearty price.
