Ever since I was a young lad (age 13 in 1958) I have been watching trains going out of stations with empty first class sections (except the business trains, e.g. Bristolian) and my own travels are typified by standing on a platform with an empty coach drawn up and then having to walk down the train to find a second class seat.
Are there any data on how much fresh air in first class is carried around the country? Also, are there any data on the profitability of this service? I appreciate that first class pay 50% extra in this country, but two people in a compartment seating (say) 18 first class pax only add up to three in second class.
