Travelling with XC last week, their "first class" struck me very much as "premium economy":
It's such a shame because rail travel can be wonderful. We did a train across the USA with proper little sleeping cabins, and a proper buffet car where they actually cooked food from scratch - better than the average UK restaurant even!
- Nicer seats
- WiFi and power sockets
- Free hot drinks in paper cups
- Free food was a choice between one type of sandwich and one type of microwaved meal in a plastic pot, with disposable cutlery
- No free booze
