Holders of all valid Standard tickets and passes can travel in extra comfort on East Coast services on Saturdays, Sundays and Bank Holidays in First Class accommodation labelled "Weekend First" on payment of the relevant supplement.
For the avoidance of doubt, this includes “Advance” tickets, Off-Peak Day tickets, Rail Rovers, BritRail, Railcard-reduced tickets and Staff Passes.
Passengers purchase a supplement on the East Coast train if accommodation is available (so is for that train only, but can only be used on connecting East Coast trains on the same day IF seats are available).
Please note Weekend First cannot be booked at stations, nor issued in advance on East Coast trains for any other East Coast trains.
Weekend First issued for travel on other TOCs cannot be used on East Coast trains, and East Coast Weekend First cannot be issued through to non-East Coast destinations.
Weekend First supplements are:
- London/Stevenage – Wakefield/York and north thereof £25·00
- London/Stevenage – Hull, Brough, Selby and all stations south of York and Wakefield £15·00
- all non-London East Coast journeys i.e. starting and ending at Peterborough or north thereof £15·00
