Title: First Class Lounge at Temple Meads Post by: Brucey on March 21, 2010, 13:40:53 I believe there is a First Class Lounge at Temple Meads on Platform 11 (?).
Is it staffed or is everything self-service? What sort of complementaries are available? I'm trying to decide whether to book First Class or pleb class for an upcoming trip and need to work out whether it will be good value or not. I don't normally get the choice of First Class as I travel mainly to Portsmouth. Title: Re: First Class Lounge at Temple Meads Post by: devon_metro on March 21, 2010, 13:44:57 No, its closed. Its far easier just sitting on the (usually) waiting London Paddington HSTs in platform 13/15

Looks like my extra dosh will be spent in Bonapartes instead of on First Class travel (I'm not going too far anyway)!Title: Re: First Class Lounge at Temple Meads Post by: thetrout on March 21, 2010, 21:03:39 Closed in Easter 2009 :(
However the First Class Lounges at Cardiff Central and London remained open AFAIK I'd agree with D_M, The London bound trains normally accept pax around 15 - 20 minutes before they are due to leave, in most cases the Buffet opens early too.
