Today was the first time I have travelled with EMT in First Class. Which idiot came up with idea of having First and Standard Class in the same coach with no partition wall? :mad: :shock: It's an absolutely ridiculous idea! The distinction between First Class and Standard Class is...

...London to Brighton for just 50p. Routes included are London to Brighton, Portsmouth and Eastbourne. First Class London Victoria to Brighton tickets included. More information here: http://www.southernrailway.com/offers/birthday-ticket-fiesta/. UPDATE - Since Southern's booking engine has...

First of all I'm not sure if this thread should go in "NR General Discussion" or "Traction and Rolling Stock", but I've put it here because it's less about the rolling stock itself and more about the accommodation available. I am sure that a few months ago First Class accommodation was...

http://www.eastcoast.co.uk/about-us/Latest-News1/new-interactive-seat-map East Coast have introduced a new "interactive seat map." It's the same as XC, but works even better. You can even choose the direction of travel! UPDATE: Now working!

According to this brochure on EMT's website (http://bitURL.net/emtfirst) the 16:55, 17:15, 17:30 and 17:55 departures from London are "enhanced services" and First Class passengers "can choose from a cake, a savoury pastry or cheese and biscuits." Has anyone been in First Class on one of EMT's...

In a few weeks I will be buying an All Line Rover. The thing is, I have about 50 Rail Travel Vouchers (and probably more when I purchase the ALR) which I imagine will take a while to process, particularly if the staff need to write something on each one. Am I able to buy an ALR a few days...

(Moved from the Stockport to London thread) I would recommend the following: until 5pm - Go to the Bank of England Museum. It's FREE and extremely interesting! [BANK/MONUMENT] 5pm to 6pm - If it's a Friday, go to Borough Market. There are lots of free samples and nice food. [LONDON BRIDGE] 6pm...

The East Coast timetable has now been shaded to show First Class customers exactly what they will be served. They haven't been able to show which services have afternoon tea, but demanding that would be asking too much! The timetable can be downloaded here...

East Coast are giving 20% off all First Class Advance tickets for travel between 22nd May and 29th July. Tickets must be booked 9th May here: http://www.eastcoast.co.uk/special-offers/20-off-First-Advance-go-on-treat-yourself-/. Railcard discounts are STILL allowed on top (effectively getting...

I have started a new thread because the old one was getting fairly clogged up, and I have some new information about the meal service. First of all I must say that East Coast's customer services department (at least the management) are very helpful. Elaine Holt responded from her iPhone to...

Southern's sales seem to be never ending at the moment. The previous one finished just 2 days ago - they have one day of rest (I'm assuming that's what the Spanish do), and then another sale starts today. Anyway, all of the following tickets booked through www.southernrailway.com between today...

Hello all. I have a few questions: What is the minimum age you have to be to work for a TOC? Does this vary for safety-critical jobs (such as platform work), or non-safety-critical jobs (such as the ticket office)? I'm certain that you have to be at least 18 for safety critical jobs...

Following on from my recent trip to Norwich, I can confidently say that NXEA has THE WORST First Class offering of any InterCity operator in Britain. In my opinion, their London-Norwich HST run service is an InterCity service, so I put this service into the same category as: ATW (Premier...

Today we used the return portion of a Standard Class Crewe to Manchester VT Only Anytime Return ticket for 2 Adults and 2 Children, with a Family Railcard discount. As today was a weekday (and not a bank holiday), I wondered if I could excess my ticket (one of the child tickets) to First...

TfL have moved Tottenham Court Road on the tube map. It is now shown as a station on the Central line only: http://www.tfl.gov.uk/assets/downloads/standard-tube-map.gif Perhaps TfL have done this to make people think "Tottenham Court Road is a Central Line station", so that they won't be too...

Hello. I have found some very (and I mean very!) cheap fares on the Perth to Inverness line. However, I am struggling to find cheap fares between Glasgow/Edinburgh and Perth, which slightly reduces the value of the savings I have found. Does anyone know of any cheap fares between...

Another quick question. Has anyone ever tried First Class on these operators? Do they serve a meal, or just "light snacks"? Thanks again. I don't want to spend money on First Class tickets if I'll still be left hungry!

Just a quick question. The FGW website says "complimentary light refreshments are served at your seat" in First Class. Does anyone have any idea what these "complimentary" items are, as nothing more is said? And would it be feasible for I (a person who eats a fair bit) to do a London to...
