VR Snabbtåg (Sweden)

An unusual feature of these X74 trains, operated by VR is that they don't have specific 1st class seating or its equivalent, the same types of seat are fitted throughout the train.
Though some seats are at table and some are airline style - though some of the seats, those closest to the doors, are raised up at a higher level.
Though when booking the more expensive type of ticket, 'Plus' and '1 Class Plus' tickets, it seems as though these such travellers have exclusive use of coach A.
The key advantage of 1 Class Plus tickets is that in effect the ticket includes two adjacent seats, with the idea being that the purchaser can therefore be sure that nobody will be sat next to them - this mitigates against no parts of the train having seats arranged 2 + 1 across the aisle - which is typical in 1st class on other European trains.
