Comparison of 1st-class rail travel operators

what is the availability if these free tickets like? Presumably they have to be booked way in advance on the commuter trains

East Midland trains offer nowt much on first.
Slightly bigger seats, orange juice and a miniature breakfast bar in the morning. Tea, coffee and water. and the financial times.

You have to pay extra for breakfast or any other food.

In the evening you get tea, coffee, water, some paltry red and white wine that would suffice as drain cleaner and a small packet of peanuts.
This is only available till 7pm and they stop serving wine after that.

Not worth paying £900 odd a month for on my season ticket.

Nope - I never had any problems with Virgin Traveller it was great - 6 months 1st class return travel from Manchester to London free

I've even booked the same day and got me ticket.

Get in!! I was planning on spending the money for the whole year. Nice to know I can stump up the cash for the 13 weeks at the start of the contract and then get it for free!

You only need to pay for the 8 weeks - double Boom!

I used to travel every morning from Sheffield to Nottingham - I was alone in First every day.

Nice Polynesian stewardesses used to serve me fresh orange juice dripping off their full rounded breasts.

You can't beat Virgintrains - all for £11 return per day.

Funny place to keep orange juice
