First Class Train Travel

 

Newest Review: ... Standard are a piece of fabric with the word 'First' on it and lots of weak luke warm tea. However, what seperates the two is the level of service you receive in First Class. As soon as you get on the train you are offered a 'Times' in the morning and an 'Evening Standard' in an afternoon/evening.
