First Great Western

*Please note, I am not selling anything here. Just seeking advice*

As compensation, First Great Western are offering me a complementary journey on the Night Riviera Service with a Berth bed anywhere on their network OR two First Class tickets again to anywhere on their network.


They've already confirmed both choices are transferrable. It's therefore likely I'll sell or pass these on.

Given the fact these can be used to travel anywhere they go, which option would be more valuable?

Thanks

    First Class tickets are worth a lot more so long as they are valid at any time. If they are weekend only then they are worth very little. The Night Riviera only goes down to Penzance and I would have thought demand for that would be very limited indeed

    It's surprisingly popular actually. FGW have given up trying to get permission to stop running it as passenger numbers always remained stubbonly high, so they've actually started marketing it again. And it stops at most places on the way, not just London and Penzance. I agree that in this case the first class tickets are more likely to find a taker though.
