Most European trains offer first and standard class travel, although they may be named differently. For example, Eurostar calls its premium class leisure fare ‘Standard Premier’ and its premium class business fare ‘Business Premier’. A limited number of trains, including Eurostar, offer a business class of travel. Which class of travel should I choose? The actual services and facilities in each class vary across the different train operators and types of train. See our train guides to see what different trains are like » Generally, first class travel is more comfortable and spacious. It may include extras like a meal and access to a first class lounge. On overnight trains, classes work a bit differently. There are usually several classes of travel available. We explain this in more detail in our train guides and also during the booking process.
