Hi everyone!

I have been pondering this question, as a staff travel facilities holder would I be allowed to purchase 1st class upgrades for weekday travel using seatfrog? The reason I ask being some websites say yes some say no.

Any input is greatly appreciated!

I believe that you can. Certainly on GWR and XC. As long as you have a bvalid priv ticket. Best to check though if using different TOC's

Whenever I upgrade to First Class, the carriage is always full of GWR staff giving the wink to the train Manager
