# pendolinos are horrid
the voyagers are much nicer, bigger seats, wider aisles and more leg room. i have to get both between bristol and liverpool. realised the other day that the pendolinos operate to london because they can put extra carraiges in the middle, whereas the voyagers need to attach two trains to each other to get bigger.
you appear to be a first class traveller as well sir, can i have some of your money please

# I travel on both of course
as they operate both types on the mainline. There is little difference in the first class carriages, first class seats are just the same ( and not as near as huge and comfy as they once were. The main reason for wanting to be on a Pendolino is this. 2h 06m. That's 40 minutes off the travel time of a voyager.

# never seen a voyager between liverpool and birmingham
since they stopped running the liverpool-edinbrugh line. i went on one of the tilting trains (dunno which one) about 6 months before the official launch.
since i travel in standard class i'll take the extra space and ease of moving around over speed.
