Research Shows a First Class Advantage

Virgin Trains have published their recent research which shows that First Class tickets cost on average only £34 more than a Standard ticket when booked in advance. In addition to this, further costs savings can be made when Expense Management costs for  companies are taken into consideration. On average Expense managements costs £30 to process a claim with allowances of £5 to £10 for breakfast and £16 to £25 for an evening meal.  So therefore the time saving benefits of travelling into the heart of the city; the lack of check in time and airport stress, the cost of your First Class ticket already makes sense.  

On top of this you can also enjoy increased productivity, roomier seats, tables at every seat, plug sockets, free Wi-Fi (that even works in tunnels); enhanced mobile coverage and of course a good selection of food. Virgin Trains currently have fares from £52 First Class one way from London Euston to Glasgow and £34 First Class one way from London Euston to Manchester.
