    That is true, but the actual seating/compartment is hardly any different, and no free grub/beer!

      No.

        no

        Unless you are paying for 15 minutes with NLYUK its not worth upgrading for that length of time.

        Say's the man that catches the bus home from the Airport.
        Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

          Rush hour on some trains first class means you get slightly more standing room.

          Though in those cases I prefer standard class as you are not stuck with braying toffs.

              As a Londoner I refuse to take the Heathrow express. It's the most expensive form of public transport per mile in the country.

              Unless you're a princess you should just get on the tube and ride it out for £4.

                Tube's boring.
