First Capital Connect first class ticket not worth it

Traveling from Potters Bar to Cambridge on First Capital Connect, I chose a first class ticket. Having not used this service, I expected first class to be, you know, first class, like it is on Virgin Trains.

Well, the ticket bought me peace and quiet at least as the first class seats were deserted. I understand why. Delapidated furnishings, seats barely more comfortable than coach, no tea, drinks, snacks.

It made sense to me that the passengers familiar to this company had not chosen to upgrade. Take my advice and don't waste your money on this pointless upgrade.

I have a standard ticket but usually sit in first as many are declassified during peak. If I was travelling with the family I would still upgrade for the peace away from the cattle.
