Experience our best comfort and customer service with a first-class ticket. 

Whether you're travelling for business or for pleasure, first-class tickets offer our finest journey experience. With larger seats and complimentary soft drinks and biscuits on selected routes.

 

What first-class train tickets are available?

We offer, flexible first-class Anytime and Off-Peak single and return tickets allowing you to travel at whatever time suits, perfect if your plans are likely to change, as well as low-cost Advance first-class tickets, however, these are only available in limited numbers.

We also offer an upgrade to first-class, passengers can simply purchase an upgrade from the onboard Conductor. First-class seats are limited and offered on a first-come, first-served basis.

 

How can I buy a first-class ticket?

You can purchase a first class Single or Return ticket much like you would a Standard ticket: on our app, our website, at station ticket offices or at station self-service ticket machines. 

Don't forget, you can buy tickets for all UK train services through us, so whether you're going from Cardiff to Holyhead or Newcastle to Paddington you can still buy your first-class tickets through us and benefit from paying no booking fees.

 

Can I upgrade from Standard to First-Class?

You can upgrade from a Standard-Class ticket to First-Class on our services, where this is applicable. This applies for all our Standard tickets including Anytime and Advance Singles, Returns, Season tickets, and Rover and Ranger tickets. Please let the conductor know if you’d like to upgrade as they’ll need to confirm there is space in First Class. Please remember there’ll also be an additional cost for any meals you order on the train if you’ve upgraded to First Class.

Our chefs have created some fantastic new menus for you to try. We hope you'll enjoy the greater variety of options we now offer when you travel with us.
