I'm always a little disappointed by first class on trains,
this is what I expect it to be like.

Can't find pics online
but until about the 1920s there used to be special carriages into and out of the City on some London Underground services, where the carriage was all cut glass mirrors, wood-panelling, and chandeliers, and there were leather armchairs and a bar so you could relax with a G&T after a hard day in the office.
That's the sort of thing I want when I pay for first class. Nowadays it's an extra £50 for a bigger chair and free coffee.

if you book in advance you can get an upgrade for next to nothing,
they give you your dinner in the East Coast main line too, and wine.
But I still expect mahogany panelling, brass fittings and lampshades with tassels on.

I was thinking Virgin Trains
which is normally crap. East Coast is better when I've travelled it though, yeah. Chiltern too.

virgin are terrible,
the toilets stink the whole carriage out and luggage doesn't fit in the overhead luggage racks, either. Also lucky if they don't go on fire.
