I spent 4 hours round trip on a Pendolino last week, and found the seats very uncomfortable. I had a window seat, and I just couldn't figure out where to keep my window-side arm. The seat itself was quite narrow (and I'm not a big lad), so wasn't comfortable with a arm by my side, but couldn't quite put it on the ledge either. I just spent 2 hours each way trying to get comfortable, but didn't quite manage.
