We’ve removed First Class from our mainline services to create an inclusive railway which provides access to more seats for our mainline customers.
Removing First Class will provide access to an average of 60 more seats on a 12-car train.
That’s almost:
16,000 seats a day
80,000 seats a week
4 million seats a year
First Class use has been in decline for some time and is a source of frustration for Standard Class customers when trains are busy and First Class seats are empty.
