Oh if only the Amtrak First Class people could watch this video and learn from it....

Notice what the meal cost as well.    58 British pounds  approx $75.    For a nice multi-course lunch in a dining car with table cloths, china and fine wine plus great service.    People in First Class will pay that, even on a corridor train.   Possibly not some of the skin flints that read this forum but generally a good first class experience, people will pay good money for.

A good video re: a select segment of rail travel in the UK.  As an Anglophile, I loved it.  And I would gladly pay $75 for the repast.  Makes me want to ride the train.
