Making journeys a little easier for expectant mothers.
Expectant mothers who hold a weekly, monthly or longer season ticket can apply for a First Class Upgrade which allows you to sit in First Class when there are no Standard Class seats available.
To apply, you will need your MATB1 form which is given to you by your doctor or midwife no more than 20 weeks before your due date.
To be eligible for the Mums-to-be upgrade pass, please complete our application form and enclose a copy of your MATB1 and current season ticket.

i assume this `mum` term inology is an oversight.
men who become pregnant by whatever means should also apply for this benefit.

Why do people deserve a slap if a pregnant woman chose to get on a full train when she had the choice to catch another train where she could get a seat? Or chose not to reserve a seat when she bought her ticket?

If you were in standard class and didnt at least offer to give up your seat to a pregnant woman, you deserve a slap. heat for the rail company at least offering this but there are still people who are in much more need of a seat i.e. the elderly and disabled.

I suppose train companies should be offering a better service / correct number of seats in the first place, rather than relying on the poor old fare paying passenger to give up a seat.
Before hitting the reply button, I happily offer a seat when neccesary.

So how do you know the person in the seat that you want to give a slap, doesn't have a disability or need for the seat? Not all disabilities are visible!!

All those 3 get some kind of 'benefit', whereas the standard person probably doesn't, and needs a well deserved rest in the seat from all the extra stress they have to go through
