London from the suburbs, are there really that many services with FC?

From within 70 miles out?......FGW, NXEA, NXEC (Peterborough),
SouthEastern, Southern (Brighton), FCC (Cambridge) - more TOCs offer
1st than don't.

Initially brought in by the Met (Only) as a way of enticing police
into an under-strength Met (usually to other SouthEast forces loss) a
few years ago. THe TOCs 'agreed' if they were in uniform and willing
to act if necessary.

The abuse of 1st class is akin to using their forces credit cards on
private purchases, even if they make a refund afterwards.
