"Our First Class offers comfortable recling (sic) seats with more legroom than Standard Class, power points and a smaller private compartment so you can easily work or sit back and relax." From http://www.londonmidland.com/tickets-and-fares/tickets-and-fares/first-class-travel/
The picture painted is not one I recognise. "Comfortable" may be subjective, but the seats I'm used to certainly don't recline -- instead the seat bottom has to be forced one inch forward being careful not to trap your fingers (reducing the leg room in the process) -- and they are not private as you have a steady stream of standard-class passengers going through trying to find a working toilet or somewhere to sit.
The power point is shared, so if the person in the adjoining seat is using it, you don't get one. Oh, and there are no seat reservations, so your "comfortable" seat may actually be occupied by somebody else, and, if your thinking of travelling with someone else, don't expect to be able to sit together in order to work or relax.
Has the person who writes this marketing puff ever actually been on one of these trains?
