Ok. Alex is an archeologist on Time Team and the other 2 were in a documentary about restoring a very very old castle using ancient technology. Not even a modern shovel! Lol

The comfort level between First and Third is stunning. What was the price difference and why is there no Second? Thanks

[@sterlingodeaghaidh5086]

There used to be a second class, but eventually regulations and customer demands made it where it was just more financially viable to do away with third class and just do second. That eventually became coach class. The difference was basically like the price difference of a Toyota Camry and a Rolls Royce on some railroads.
