Or in the UK - my experiences with Avanti West Coast have been particularly awful. The Avanti trains are actually quite nice but only about 50% of the trains I want to get seem to actually run and then the trains that do run become totally overcrowded with the people from the cancelled trains.... Edit: Used a Frecciarossa in Italy recently and was very impressed - Business class was very comfortable (better than LNER 1st class) and ticket prices very reasonable at a small fraction of what you'd pay in the UK.
