Looks much nicer inside than the UK version! Tiny windows still though.

It does look very nice.

I travelled from Faro to Lisbon and return in 1st class twice last summer on a remarkable value equivalent to our First Class Anytime Return. (43 euros or something if I recall)

I'm glad to see new WiFi antennas too as the WiFi was very limp on many parts of the route.
