Weekend First on LNER Inverness - London

[Willyjohn]

I was going to book a first class ticket to Inverness from Kings Cross but noticed you can upgrade a standard ticket to first class on board or at the station. Does that mean, if I had bought the first class then exactly the same benefits would be there if I upgraded ? Also I noticed no hot food is served at weekends. Is this correct. Would not First class payers not be aggrieved by diffence and by the fuller cabins of upgraders?

Yes, providing there is space available. I've been on trains where the Guard has announced Weekend First is unavailable due to high loadings.

Also I noticed no hot food is served at weekends. Is this correct.

Yes; details are on their website: https://www.lner.co.uk/the-east-coast-experience/first-class/menu/

If it's full, no further upgrades will be sold.
