After yesterday's rather depressing and shameful episode in my commuting life, a bit of a pleasant surprise today. Mr Postie delivered an envelope from First Great Western bearing the line 'Great offer from First Great Western inside'. You have my attention, as they say.
Upon opening said envelope, I discovered not only some vouchers for free drinks and snacks in the buffet and free weekend parking at the station, but also...wait for it, wait for it...a leaflet heralding the return of the free off-peak upgrade to first class for season ticket holders.
My wish has come true!
Yep, free upgrades to first class for season ticket holders till 6 July. Complimentary nibbles and beverages here I come.
To get your copy of the upgrade vouchers, click here. Maybe I'm just not seeing it, but it looks to me like sneaky ol' First Great Western have hidden this page away on their site so you can't access it from the navigation bars: you need to know the address. It's certainly not showing up in the Special Offers navigation menu where the upgrade option was last year.
Enjoy.

Yup, I got these vouchers too. Just a shame that the trains from Langley to Paddington don't serve food on board. And as for using the first class seats, ha! There are only about 16 seats, they get filled up pretty quickly anyway.
Would have been nice if they had given me some vouchers that I can actually use, like some ten pound notes or something.
One thing I noticed havign studied the first class upgrade voucher. Last year, the upgrade was available from 7.30pm onwards, this year it's 8pm. Shame.
