What is the difference between 1st and 2nd class train travel?
First class is more spacious and quieter with fewer seats per compartment or train car. The seats are larger and sometimes more plush. There is more room for luggage and it will generally be less crowded since most Europeans using the train will travel in second class. Some train systems (such as Scotland) only offer second class.
