Re: XPT - First or Economy??

["Eric Cartman" <erk_cartman@yahoo.com>]

If someone in Pleb class (aka Cattle Class or economy) needs to go direct to
the buffet, they don't need to go through pensioner class (unless they make
a detour). They do however to use the Payphone in car B. I try to make one
trip down to pleb class during a trip for the purposes of window shopping

seats,

get

the
