PSA: I took a long "first class" Shinkansen trip last year, and it was hideously uncomfortable. Swaying movement made me feel sick when I did anything, and the seat was curved in a way that made it impossible to relax as a 6' tall person.

My toddler went on a rampage the whole way, too, since it was an open cabin and not a private cabin

I've never taken the train in the UK, but had a much more comfortable ride in Italy a few years back
