This just in from Jumbo...
With politicians together with Sir Humphrey and his cohorts being reduced to joining lesser mortals travelling standard class, what is the future for first class in the UK?
Will Sir Humphrey decide that the abysmal standard class seating in FGW's high-speed trains meets his taste, or will he instigate changes?
We live in exciting times.
UPDATE: This from our International Correspondent...
Could it be that the aforementioned civil servants, finding themselves in straitened travelling circumstances, will follow the precedent of an earlier Liberal Prime Minister?
William Ewart Gladstone (for it was he) advised the Midland Railway in 1874 to abolish second class. (Presumably so that there was more space to minister to the needs of Ladies of the Night? Ed)
UPDATE: This from The Master...
Reduce the number of standard seats in Standard on FGW?
Dream on!
If all the Sir Humphrey's are to be accommodated there will be a need for more - not less seats.
