It really is amazing how much Branson has done to make his trains as shit as possible. 1) Wifi non-existent 2) Pulldown table dumb shape with stupid lid, impossible to place laptop on 3) Too hot to read 4) Jerking/swerving causes motion sickness 5) Windows don’t line up w/ seats

A good thing to do when you are already ill is get on a train that lurches so much it makes you throw up. I'm a single issue voter now and that issue is "Put Richard Branson in jail."

And then add in trying to load a bicycle either on or off, even when you have made a reservation one year in advance. I have actually missed my stop because the train manager has been too incompetent to help me offload it .

...assuming they or the platform staff turn up/are aware of a passenger with a bike at all. Last VT-with-a-bike experience wasn't bad at all but I have had some close shaves joining/leaving trains at Watford and Euston before now.

I find that if you've a window seat your legs can be weirdly cramped too, because of the curve of the train's wall.

Yep, I was stuck in a window seat behind a luggage rack, and completely crammed in. The Chiltern Rail train I got on a near identical route recently had no tables, but did have leg room, wasn't boiling hot, and the toilet was far older but not unbearably twee.
