First Class

Extra comfort

Our genuine leather First Class seats are wider and have a more luxurious feel to help you relax. There’s also extra legroom so you can stretch out and have a more comfortable journey.

Need some quiet time to catch-up on work or unwind while enjoying our SWR|Stream on board entertainment service? Our large tables will give you plenty of room to set-up and make the most of your time on-board.

Wheelchair spaces on our trains are available in Standard Class only.

At-seat wireless charging

So you can keep your mobile devices fully charged when travelling with us, our spacious tables have a world-first - complimentary wireless charging integrated into the tables.

With Aircharge you simply place your compatible device onto the charging pad without having to connect it with a cable, keeping your plug free for laptops or other devices.
