It was cheaper to buy two first class single tickets than it was to get Standard! I wasn't paying but I don't like wasting money so I went for the cheaper option :-)
The tea, coffee and breakfast included in the price of the ticket (they are not free) were surprisingly nice too. I sat back, relaxed and enjoyed.
At one point I found myself looking out the window at some sheep in a field. Half asleep I said baa quite loud. This made some people in the carriage smile, some others didn't look impressed!
The train itself was one of the Virgin tilting things. I tried to photograph the tilting effect, the results can be seen below. (what else is there to do on an early morning train)?
