The train ran every 15 minutes into the city; it was air-conditioned, clean, the staff was friendly, and there were plenty of seats. So we got from the airport to Liverpool in London quickly and comfortably.

Very comfortable and quick. Nice and clean. On time. It would be brilliant if you added USB phone chargers to the seats in the carriages.
