Rail Operator Avanti West Coast To Offer Three Classes Of Travel
The title of this post is the same as that of this article on the BBC.
This is the first two introductory paragraphs.
Three travel classes will be available on a domestic UK railway line for the first time in more than 60 years.
Avanti West Coast, which has replaced Virgin Trains on the West Coast Main Line, will offer premium economy as well as standard and first-class seats.
I always use the middle-class on Eurostar and regularly use a Weekend First upgrade, so it could be that this middle-class ticket will be useful for me.

60 Years? Not so. Three classes have been available more recently. I think this was about 20 years ago but could be a little wrong on the dates. I used to regularly travel Kings Cross to Leeds in “Standard Plus” accommodation. This had at seat service along with free biscuits, croissants, tea and coffee and a newspaper for holders of full standard class tickets.
