The Best First Class in the UK... (LNER First Class)

[@vjary8142]

Years ago used too regularly do Fist Class London - Newcastle, whenever cheap First Class tickets were available, always took advantage. It's always worth doing the upgrade whenever possible. Well done for having done the "best" First Class.

[@benmiller.]

Just a shame I didn’t get the full food menu :(

[@vjary8142]

Forgot to add that the North East is the undiscovered country, a well kept secret because up the NE Coast it is totally beautiful, but bloody cold.

[@iffysd9864]

"Only having 7 cause I'm driving" 🤣 I actually do not like the pillow sometimes more uncomfortable than comfortable. Overall first class tickets without a discount are not worth it. The experience also depends on staff you get on the journey.

I was on the LNER from King's Cross to Leuchars yesterday. During the entire 5.5 hour trip, they only came twice to offer hot drinks. But the train was very clean and spacious.

Big Ben is back taking names and dropping truth bombs. It’s great to learn how to travel on a budget and work with what ya have, even when it’s…questionable haha. Bless ya mate

[@jackmellor5536]

I wish they had lamps on the table in first class like the GNER used to on their HSTs

[@crxmdx9199]

Thank you for posting, mate! That hoodie is ROCKIN!

[@Divergence]

I usually only go first class if I have more than a 1hr journey somewhere. As due to the state of UK trains, we usually tend to only get two coaches, often never get a seat.

I’m always on the lookout for the best discounts and can share some great savings tips with you.

I travelled LNER first class to Leeds in May 2023 to attend my cousin's wedding.

[@timbounds7190]

On every one of the very rare times I've gone first class, the carriage contains at least one screaming toddler (just like standard class), and the train runs seriously late....

[@benmiller.]

Classic…

[@manutdrule09]

Great video mate

[@benmiller.]

thank you man, pleased you enjoyed it.

[@michael42158]

"Free and unlimited food and drinks" . They never promise that.

[@donaldpolson5450]

And what there is is limited unless you're lucky enough to get the superior Dine menu

[@nicktheroyalturner3370]

Another good one Professor👍

[@benmiller.]

Thanks nick.

[@carols.3019]

Great video! We have advance first class tickets with LNER in April from Kings Cross to Doncaster. Do all first class tickets get you into the lounge?

[@benmiller.]

Yes all tickets give you lounge access

[@MattyMonk]

great video bro, think i would have got a couple extra gins for you, and saved em to take home :)

[@strongbow310]

Can i just ask what is the point in a lounge if you turn up when ur tains gonna leave whats the point

[@kianward5999]

that was a grand bit of content well grandad had a nice ball fairplay to you guys amazing stuff loved it stunning work lads

[@mukeshvig174]

Was the ticket cheaper because it’s a late night train or did you book months in advance? Thanks

[@donaldpolson5450]

LNER may have the best 1st class overall but they do NOT have the best catering. The menu is divided into 3 types (from best to least = Dine - Dish-Deli) but which you get is based on train, time of day and route ie in other words a lottery. Great if you manage to be lucky to get Dine (full breakfast) or frustrated if you cop Deli (bacon roll). Not only is that too much of a swing in quality/quantity it's really annoying if you travel on a 4+hour trip to Edinburgh on a Deli menu. Avanti West Coast has the best catering imo. Give me scrambled eggs and smoked salmon or full English breakfast (and these are just 2 options) over a bacon bap/toast any day.

[@chrismoon3123]

Never get that when I am tra veling 1st class next er a y food in the lounge and only a bacon or sausage rbap not had a full breakfast at all

[@Wanyeee]

I've also discovered a really good discount!❤

[@Scotty19]

Nice nice video Ben another good first glass train video 😊

[@benmiller.]

Thank you appreciate the support 🙏

[@BenThompson9]

We’ll done Ben… love your videos bro… a breath of fresh air and a welcome respite from the reigning insanity. With warmest regards. All the very best to you and grandad. Keep up the good work! 👍💝🙌

[@MattJohno2]

Free food and unlimited drinks? Makes me want to take first class for specifically that now lol

[@kkrispy2009P]

Great review train and lounge thanks ben

Class again from you Miller. You’re undisputed knowledge of trainers paired with your cute looks makes for some watch… ever thought of doing a collab with one of my other fav KZbinrs called scotty- yous should totally check him out seen as he reminds me of your grandad.

[@ShanePalmer-yo4og]

Never worry about being under dressed for something like a First Class Lounge. The days of having to wear a collar and tie for such things are long gone. A friend of mine who's very much a multi millionaire tends to always wear, T-Shirt, Hoody, Jeans & trainers with a baseball cap. He does sometimes get some sideways looks, but he dresses the way he wants and doesn't give a fig for what anyone else thinks...

[@yuko147]

4:47 you a joking right?

[@redgoon698]

True, but the seats are SO uncomfortable.

[@garethwilliams976]

I used to travel from Manchester to London in the 60's and we got a full meal cooked on board with coffee fresh brewed with waiter service and tablecloths and napkins. Come off it - this is rubbish compared. If the airlines can serve decent food in economy why not a high standard in rail first class? Answer is easy. Most travellers at this level are on the firm but had they to pay then they would expect far better. Just check out whether your next first class coach is fully booked and you will know if travellers think it good value. A couple of years ago i paid nearly £160 to travel from Manchester to Southampton in First. Two wretched butties, some crisps and carton orange in a plastic cup! Never again. Will buy decent food and wine to take onboard from M&S at Piccadilly with a standard seat, get decent food and save over £50!

[@daineveritt5310]

Enjoyed the video. I've upgraded the same way and wondered if we'll likely be sitting next to anyone as there are only 2 of us. Clearly you both didn't but unsure if it was because you were on a later train?

[@benmiller.]

There is a chance that you might be sat next to someone.

[@zayn67]

How did you get upgrade

[@benmiller.]

Seatfrog app

[@giannihallett4951]

Yes what a legend 💯 the best

[@benmiller.]

You’re the legend

[@giannihallett4951]

Yep the best vlogger on KZbin 💯

[@cubs6583]

This First Class has gone down totally and if you think its the best then all I can say is ohhh dear easily impressive

[@ellsw]

How did it compare to the other first class trip you did? It didn't look any better really or is that being unfair?

[@benmiller.]

This was much better I would say

[@JoshCPFC]

Waitrose next to a Lner first class, liberties

[@mariexb1993]

Cool🎉

[@philipwalton4877]

McLovin is doing alright these days

[@benmiller.]

Cheers mate

[@seanpadraigobrien1260]

I like these videos buddy

[@benmiller.]

Thanks Sean

[@benwakefield93]

13 hours early 😂😂

[@Khankhan-hv1lk]

I was expecting more for first class. The quality of first class is very poor. I've been in a hell of a lot better first class trains out of the UK. Can't believe it's so basic interior in the first class.

[@thebestgameryt62]

Right now don’t come so early you don’t need to wast your energy

[@benmiller.]

we didn't actually stay for 13 hours haha

[@samuelrayson1464]

07:06 😂😂
