Arriva have not been my favourite TOC. Not too bad in Wales , but of course the Welsh Assembly plays a hand here.
Pretty bad at times with XC, which I use quite regularly. I think the Voyagers - to be fair a Virgin design - (slightly less cramped and claustrophobic than Pendelinos) were a retrograde design. Fairly OK for a short journey, very uncomfortable for long distance - for which they were designed and awful when crowded.
Planes on wheels both of them destroying the ambience of rail travel.
At least DB is rail company and runs well designed trains.
