More Pendolino Opinions

Patrick Crozier has been on board one of Virgin Trains' shiny new Pendolinos, and thinks much the same about the interior as I did. Neither of are impressed.

He likes the exterior, though. I'm not so sure; while they've spend some effort styling the thing rather than being purely functional like many other train designs. It doesn't have the style of the Pininfarina-designed Swiss Re460s,though.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and I am going to stick with the Pendolino on this one. Does it have anything else on the Re460 and its typical coaching stock?
