First class carriages

Should they be banned and why are our trains so crowed and uncomfortable

Re: First class carriages

No our poor politicians will have to find another way to screw the taxpayer.

Re: First class carriages

It makes little point to keep them IMO looking at trains going past most have a couple of empty carriages and the rest of the train people are standing. It makes more sense and would be safer to get them sitting down.

Re: First class carriages

I dint think MPs are allowed to claim first class travel any more now, unless their journey is more that two hours.

I agree they should be turned into one class.

Re: First class carriages

I heard this being discussed on the radio this morning and was surprised to learn we still have first class .

Re: First class carriages

Hi

I do not travel by train often, not many deals locally so very expensive.

I do like train travel on the Continent, fast efficient, clean and on time.

Re: First class carriages

Why should they be banned? People should have a right to travel in comfort providing they pay out for the privilege.
