Travelled to Brighton today from Dunkeld, and found myself a decent first class fare from Virgin Trains East Coast. Unfortunately, my train from Dunkeld to Edinburgh was a class 158. As I took my seat and grabbed my laptop, it was then I realised what a pointless first class Scotrail have on the 158s. The first class was fully reserved and I was sitting at the window seat, and I couldn't even use my laptop because the reading lamp was blocking it. I couldn't even read the newspaper. At least the VTEC to Kings Cross was perfect though, a world away from the Scotrail one. However, when I boarded the Electrostar at Victoria, I discovered again, that the first class is exactly like standard!
What is the point in having a "first class" when it is exactly the same as standard class?
