The difference between 1st class and 2nd class: in first class, there is more space, both in terms of legroom and storage space for your luggae. The seats are more comfortable and compartments are usually less crowded than in second class. Sometimes drinks or a meal are served in first class, or there are other services like free newspapers or internet connection.
If you buy a first class Pass, you can also travel in second class. If you buy second class, you will not be able to travel in first class, unless you buy an upgrade for each travel day.
The difference in amenities between the first and second class varies between train operators and countries. Especially fast long-distance trains Some smaller local commuter trains may not have a class distinction.
