Is First Class Worth It?

Charlotte Gainsburg was quoted in The Times on Saturday as saying “I always travel first class.  I feel I’m being cheap if I don’t!”

I travelled back from Bristol in First Class, but I think it’s the last time, I will on First Great Western. This is not a criticism of the company or even the well-refurbished IC125 trains, but more a criticism of my neck, which finds the soft seats uncomfortable.  It’s also a compliment to the Standard Class seats, I found so good on the way down to Plymouth.

So when I go to Cardiff on the 15th of October, it’ll be Standard Class both ways.
