First Class is available on select services, including some Huntingdon to King's Cross trains. It offers wider seats, tables, and a quieter carriage environment perfect for working or relaxing.

Thameslink primarily offers Standard Class across its entire fleet, with a walk-through train design and 2+2 seating. These trains lack tables or power sockets in Standard Class but provide ample space for luggage and easy movement throughout the train.
