![]() Yes, this is no gimmick, you can currently get a first class seat on the Enterprise with a standard class ticket. Just go to the end coach, next to the locomotive (that's first coach northbound, last coach southbound), and you've a 1 in 3 chance that it will be a first class coach operating as standard.
I presume that there's a standard class coach out of service for refurbishment, and rather than run a coach short, they stuck a first class in instead. I think this is an excellent move, as there are serious capacity issues when they run shorter trains. Obviously there are still less seats than in a standard class, but at least there is more capacity than when the train runs short. And it means we can enjoy the comfey seats. |
