But, but, but... a season is one of the times when first class is usually
worth the extra [1], as it's 150% of the standard fare (160% on some lines,
I know). Since that gets you a seat and coffee etc, I guess it's worth it.

Only gets you coffee on some "Intercity" services. Many suburban First
Class services have no catering at all (eg FCC).
