Default Penalty fares for sitting in First Class

In message , at 10:16:39 on Sun, 21 Jan

As an aside to this thread. Is it no lomger possible to upgrade to
First legitimately?


Only by doing so at the booking office, never on the train.


Although MML at weekends have been known to announce the availability of
their "Weekend First" upgrades, on the train, and collect the money
while doing the ticket check.

The reason is that otherwise, there's no "penalty" for upgrading on the
train and many people would just chance it.
