Gone first twice, ok so bigger seat and table aligning with window (you get the window and table on the 22k). At no point was I offered any refreshments, no at seat service in fact no sign of any staff beyond the ticket checker. All quite disappointing really. Service reliability, cancellations and delays are still unacceptable
Sadly first class fares are unregulated we can't do anything about them
Irish Rail have probably worked out the bulk of first class seats are occupied by people on company business, so the cost isn't a big issue to them. Of course this is also a scam to get money out of people at busy weekends, since the website will say all standard class seats are gone despite 140 odd seats been available people like sheep will book first since they think its the only way to get that train.
