I like to think that the pretentious terminology might soon be scrapped, and a spade called a spade by the management once again! The crews probably have no interest in using it because it seems pompous and prissy (and not at all ’railway’), whereas ’first’ and ’standard’ are universal across the industry, and the sleeper had a ’lounge car’ for nearly 30 years before anyone felt the need to rename it. I have also heard instances whereby passengers with ’club’ tickets were, at least initially, refused access to the Euston first class lounge because they didn’t say ’first class’ on them. While I hope that this has now been rectified with staff training, it does go to show the issues caused by non-standard terms (and why they’ll never endure).
