I assume this perticular train had no declassified first class or plug sockets for public use in any standard class carriage.On a slight tangent, a while back I once saw a bloke with a standard class ticket put his phone in first class (which was empty save for one or two people) and sit in standard whilst it charged. I think the guard later saw what he was doing, and started trying to get his details for using the first class facilities without a valid ticket. Unfortunately I had to get off whilst they were still arguing so I don't know the eventual outcome, but given that first class was pretty much empty and the man was sitting in standard, I did think it was a bit officious. Although obviously a line has to be drawn somewhere, otherwise standard passengers will start helping themselves to free food, etc.
What are peoples' opinions on that?
If it did then he didn't need to use any first class facilties. If it didn't, then he's was just unlucky to be on a train that only provided electricity to first class passengers.
I wonder what percentage of UK trains only have plug sockets in first class vers them being in standard class as well as first class? Obviously not every train has plug sockets, even some which have first class!
