Railcard discount with a upgrade to 1st class

[jrh2254]

I am travelling Virgin from Tamworth to London and have offpeak return tickets. We are travelling with a two together railcard. Do we have to pay a £10 excess each for 1st upgrade (may be £15 each, not sure) or do we get 1/3rd off these fares or not?
Thanks.

£15 each at weekends. No Railcard discount.

But for clarification you can upgrade Railcard discounted tickets (I think this wasn't the case years ago) - it's just that the full £15 upgrade is due, the upgrade itself is not discountable using a Two Together.

It's only 90 minutes direct on LM.

No point travelling 1st on LM though. 2+2 and no additional services.

At seat power?

Yes, but if you get a 350/3 it's in Standard as well.

But for the price of one First Class ticket you can have a battery pack.

I'd never bother with 1st on LM, not even a cup of tea or a bottle of water .

I am going virgin as they have power sockets and comfortable standard class table seats. I will save the £15 and take my own flask and snacks !! Wifi is a bit hit and miss in first so will use my own and I don't have time to use the 1st lounge in euston.
Thanks for your replies.
