You're possibly getting confused with the fact that SWT have often
used stock with first class accommodation on the Windsor lines on
services advertised as standard class only and it *may* (at the

450s by means of a PIS message) be declassified on some services.

I assume you meant some *other* services, since if the Windsor services
are advertised as standard class only, then surely the guard has no
discretion. Stopping services on the Hounslow loop are all advertised
as standard class only, and run with 450s, but I've never heard an
announcement about the firsts being declassified (if that's what you
mean by a "PIS message").



I haven't heard it lately, but this (as made clear to me a few threads
ago) was announced by the voice mysteriously saying "One", while the
display said something like "All seats on this service are
declassified."

Neither of these quite give the message "anyone can sit in the first
class section".
