Well my girlfriend finally arrived into Glasgow 3h16m late.
Some questions for Virgin will be:
Why terminate both the 07:30 and 08:30 ex EUS at Crewe and Preston respectively?
Why were Glasgow passengers told to go from Crewe to Preston only to then wait for a train that was calling at...
The passenger charter is not worth the paper it is written on. My g/f is running 3 hours late, but the fact that she will be boarding a service at Preston that is running to time she is not entitled to any free tea/coffee/provisions.

11:41 PRE-GLC showing departing PRE 19 late so looks like they may have held it
Or maybe not - 11:41 PRE-GLC sent out 11 minutes before passengers would have arrived at Preston on the service they were transferred to at Crewe
Delayed around Lockerbie I believe and then caught up on this disruption - 209 late at present

The 07:30 EUS-GLC probably going to get very busy at Preston as the 08:30 EUS-GLC is now ahead of it and being terminated at Preston

Chances of getting changed slim to none I would guess. I am having an argument with them at present in that I have reservations booked on the old seating plan for 2 seats either side of a table but these are now true individual seats based on the new seating layout.
Their website has been...
Oh good - this could be an interesting conversation with them then as I have tickets booked for those seats, based on the old seating plan. Wonder what the chances of getting them changed are . . . .
Time for a trip to KX to see if they will amend them

Quick one - I note that on the new diagrams the seats J11 and J13 appear to be true individual seats, ie one is pointing at the back of the other whereas previously these were seats either side of of a table - anyone know if this is the case or is it an error in the seating plan?
About time!!
It has been pretty much impossible to book 'table for two' when 2 people have been travelling for about the last 6 months. I have several long email conversations with East Coast about this!
That did indeed seem to be the case, and an email has been sent to EC web customer support to point this out and clarify the T&C of the ticket I was actually sold.
The fares have now been removed from the main part of the site and only appear when accessed through the relevant link.
It was only by chance - the £46 fare appeared, I assume incorrectly, when accessing the site using the 20% promotion. Upon collecting the tickets they were labelled Readers Offer and some Googling answered the rest!
But you are right, they are not shouted about!
Previous experience when looking at fares from Manchester to Scottish destinations was that the fare were actually lower when starting from Manchester Airport as opposed to travelling from Manchester Piccadilly
Second post!
From the offer I posted previously, http://www.eastcoast.co.uk/This_is_my_Edinburgh, you can get the 09:30 London - Newcastle for £40
For the York - London leg the fare is £35.50 the following day
Hello all, first post here.
Signed up initially to discuss the possible outcome of what seemed to potentially a situation where a ticket had been sold that we not necessarily valid. However a little searching reveals the following offer (it seems to be £43 Edinburgh - London and £46.00...
