All this talk of public transport... let's focus on 1st-class. What do different operators give you in 1st? GNER seem to only give you big seats and tea/coffee in a proper cup, someone mentioned free bacon... are there any operators who still do proper rail travel? Like sit-down dinners, etc?

I use Virgin first class London-Manchester on a Friday evening (it's nearly half the price of standard class on that train ) and they don't let you alone the whole journey - drinks trolley, hot meal, dessert, coffee, drinks trolley again. It's well over the top really, but a nice way to end the week.Comment

And WAGN (West Anglian Great Northern) became FCC (First Capital Connect).....
The old GNER rolling stock has been "re-branded".. well at least 1/2 the trains had the red/orange stripe overpainted with white for Nat Express.... Don't think they did anything for ECM.....
And most of the staff still wear their GNER branded clothes/uniform.......
<Humble mode>but I don't travel on it much nowadays....... so I could be wrong....... </Humble mode> but I don't think so!Comment

Wow another train thread!
If you want to travel in style you should take Scot Rail's sleeper service to Fort William. They tried scrapping it a few years back but there was a public outcry.Comment
