He mentions eating a hot meal in first class, he also has a picture of Trans Pennine Express first class seats. There's two pictures of hot meals. I'm leaning towards mostly first class tickets.

Yeah it can be affordable, but it doesn't give a representative view of train travel...

From the looks of it, this chap was travelling around in first class. Which would probably give a slightly different impression of train travel... I suspect he also wasn't travelling at peak times when trains are at their busiest and most unpleasant.

To some extent, I agree that trains get a lot of criticism, and only some of it is deserved. But some of that criticism is very deserved...
