First Class on the Bakerloo...

[Daniel]

My sister is currently on an apprenticeship with the NHS is London, near Lambeth North tube station. So, to get there, she gets Nat Rail to Tottenham then the Viccy to Oxford Circus for the Bakerloo SB.

She's just told me that while she was on the Bakerloo today with her boyfriend a BTP officer approached her and told them that they were in First Class.
She replied: "I didn't know there was first class on the underground..."

With that, he walked off, getting off the train at the following station.

Oh yeah, and her boyfriend works for TfL xD

The last First Class accommodation on the Underground (which was, by that time, only on through trains to Aylesbury and Watford) was abolished on 6 October 1941.

If memory serves First Class is available (or was) Amersham-Harrow-on-The-Hill on the Chilterns. First Class on the Bakerloo...what a wind-up!

Chiltern have been all standard class since about 2002, I think.

Chiltern have been all standard class since about 2002, I think.

I'm sure the Clubmans have FC.

 

[Galvanize]

no.

- A short but accurate answer

Always try to get the ex-1st class bits of the Chiltern trains.

They may have been downgraded to standard, but I find the seats are slightly better

Since the 165 refurb was completed, there are now no "ex-1st class" parts on Chiltern Railways' trains. You can tell where first class used to be because it is the end where there are only 2 full windows between the door and the cab, whereas standard always had two and a third (or was it a half?) windows.

I think he means the Clubmans

There was never first class on the Clubmans either, they were built as all standard.

The turbo's "ex first-class" space do sometimes appear to have different seats which, in some opinions, are more comfortable. Not former first class seats but a variation on the rest of the train.

The clubmans were built as standard tho so all seats are the same.

 

[Mojo]

There are indeed two types of seats in the Turbos, but they aren't a total variation, as you can see them IIRC in the section at both ends, and also to the middle of the train by the loo.

 

[Craig]

So basically, I was right? I said they were just a variation and that the ex-first class areas have them. I don't care if you've been noting seat types next to the toilets.

Yeah, I'm sure we can sort him out with you though Alistair....
