I know someone who holds a London to Manchester Annual First. They make around 3 return journeys each week and much prefer living in Regents Park than Manchester.

Travel regularly in First with Cross Country and whilst I’m not overly first about complimentary offerings when travelling First, I do agree that the at seat offering is incredibly inconsistent. On Friday morning, I was proactively offered a bacon roll on departing Reading but was offered...
