Creator's Key Takeaways

the first class seats were very comfortable and while we didn't have assigned window seats our seatmates kindly offered the window seat to Bev who gladly took it to film

we enjoyed an excellent breakfast and a lovely lunch in our seats along with complimentary beer wine and soda

this was probably the nicest meal service we'd ever had on a non-luxury train

overall our experience was very positive
