LNER is so much better than my usual rail experience it is insane.

I live in Nottingham and almost always travel with EMR, XC, northern and GWR. It has been a long time since I went on the east coast mainline, and it's a completely different experience.

Plenty of staff at the platforms who actually explain what is going on with the train, who gives advice on where to stand depending on what coach you need. Reasons for delays explained clearly. Plenty of services running. Long modern and comfortable trains, electric, no fumes.

Not some shit box with seats and carpets caked in disgusting gunk full of yobs. No disappearing trains, no squeezing into the doorway, no emr staff that shrug in response to your questions and don't let you onto the train until the last minute. The power works and there are even bins in the carriages.

Also my first time traveling on a 225 which is pretty cool.

I see people here complain about LNER but I feel like I'm in wonderland here.
