Trains are Pendolinos - eight coach tilting trains with first class at the London end and a quiet coach near the other end. There is an onboard shop selling drinks and snacks (most of which are free for first class ticket-holders), and other assorted rubbish.

Virgin Value tickets are advance purchase tickets which are much cheaper than the walk-on fares. In theory they are available for more or less all West Coast services until 1800 the day before travel, though in practice the cheapest ones are gone weeks before travel, and they often sell out completely a week before travel.

All trains in Britain are completely non-smoking. Many stations in Scotland are also non-smoking, so you will be unable to take advantage of prolonged stops at these stations to stand on the platform and smoke.
