I wouldn't, but as I said earlier I haven't got a choice, no first class service you see.Comment

I'd go for first class for a long journey for a contract but for 20min? every day?
He gets on at the last stop before Paddington, possibly Slough but I don't know that route too well, I come in to Marylebone.Comment

Just because it is a valid expense does not stop it being a waste of money and at the end of the day it is money off your company profits.And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument?

Absolute bargain and means you get a seat every week (and lots of coffee delivered to your seat first thing on Monday morning)
And you have to get the free tickets at the right time - when I's paid my fortune to join the club, the trains I needed to catch never had any free seats on them, even booking a month in advance.Comment

But I was billing the agency for their cock up, so I didn't care how much it cost, and I always got a seat.Comment
