Possibly at Sheffield but it is not at London, Nottingham, Leicester and it is debateable at Derby. In the case of both Nottingham and Derby the carriages would be a fair walk away from the first class lounge.
“A walk along the platform isn’t really a hardship” well it is if you are not that good on your feet and have booked first class on the basis that it will be near the buffers. On a previous journey an elderly lady opposite me spent the first 20 minutes getting over the walk.
