MK3 for me, because I love HSTs, and they are extremely comfortable too.
Who voted for pendos? :?
I assume whoever voted for Pendos has only travelled on them when they're empty so they can get to pick a rare table seat that actually lines up with the windows.
Did you know only tables have power sockets on Pendos? While on GNER HSTs, Virgin Voyagers and GNER Mk4s* they're at every window seat.
You can't really beat a GNER HST, the great Mk3 coach
with power sockets

All they need now is WiFi...
(* Except in the buffet car, which makes sense really!)
For comfort, convenience, the Mk3 wins for me. But from an enthusiast perspective, the Mk1 is more interesting. Also if travelling in a group, it's better to have a compartment, which most Mk1s have.
