Southwest First Class

Sounds good doesn't it? First Class... It conjures up images of opulence, luxury, and privilege. You immediately picture the first class lounge of an airplane, and images of nymphs flitting from seat to seat dispensing free flowing champagne from silver and gold goblets, and trays of all manner of delectable treats artfully arranged and left awaiting your pleasure. Then you get on the train...

Omg, it's First Class, there's a, a... slightly larger seat and a plug socket on the wall... Um, am I in the wrong place? Oh wait, there's no one to ask. Where are my nymphs? Dammit I want nymphs!! And where's the rest of it?! This is it...? THIS is what adds around £200 a month to my travelcard?? Okay, not mine, I'm rocking the free upgrade but still! I feel cheated..! On some services granted first class has a purpose, when it comes to Southwest Trains however there's a certain sense of something lacking... Like the class, or the first, or just well any sort of feeling you'd expect anything warranting that label to create!
