Very VERY Rare FIRST CLASS First Great Western Part 2

[BlueKewne]

"First Class"? Looks like coach to me.

[Victorialine67]

rare? how is this rare? you must be young

So it's a comfy seat.. Great. You can sit in these without paying for the 'upgrade' on quiet night time FGW trains. The gulf in prices between standard and first class on UK trains is insane, and the service is never worth it.

[WrongRoadRailways]

How on earth can you afford to always travel first class at today's prices???

[kapiljain]

Pretty average. There are tons of better first class coaches than this.

[Michw120]

whats so special about it?

[pacer142086]

the MML first class coaches are great, even if they don't have leather decor!

[legendaryajn]

they are on the cross county HST;s now, well the 5 that they have in stock and tht hav not been refubished yet, does anyone have any news on that btw? thanks,

[BrianEaZy]

so whats so good, I'm first class all the time, i've seen nicer.

It's MML HST first class. Meridians have never been on loan to any other company. New trains always stay with the company who's livery is painted on the side - but the HST's are always being moved around.

gHawk - the only reason people go first class is because it's more private - I totally agree with you about everything else. What's worse is that on Virgin you don't even get the trolly treatment - you have to walk through standard to the onboard shop at weekends.

[bronzeonion]

so whats so bad about walking through standard?

[WrongRoadRailways]

The shop is at the other end of the 9 car train!

its definately hst mk3 in the film... i've travelled on em all my life....wud know one of those anywhere...and i really really dnt see a reason to travel first class... you pay that extra money for what? a seat half inch wider and a trolley dolly bird coming round feeding you? rip off if you ask me.

@ghawk2005

just like the service to Edinburgh .. over hyped over rated yet very quick ..

[victorspencer12]

thats midland mainlines first class

[zedbra]

Yea, that's what he said. To be more accurate it's the Meridian first class, not HST.

[victorspencer12]

its HST first class, i should no as i tend travel in it

[zedbra]

Hmmm...Maybe you're right. I travelled in both HST and Meridian first class at the Weekend. The seats in this video appear a different colour (mine were bluer than they appear in this video). I did notice the 'First' lettering on the head rest though, which I don't think the Meridian has. So I agree, it's probably HST. Maybe you're aware of more differences but I've only been in them once, and I based my last comment on a photo I saw elsewhere.

I was sat on brown seats that looked like that once and it was definitely a FGW HST and the coaches were in FGW Barbie

[bronzeonion]
