I have my tickets - I collected them from Nuneaton yesterday. If the journeys run as timetabled I will have 2 hours 42 minutes in London from when the train arrives Euston to when it departs. I think the plan is to buy a one day Zone 1 travelcard and then head to Oxford Circus on the...

Wojciech Hoffmann - "Pendolino" :-)

I can't drive but the best car I've ever been a passenger in is my brothers' 2001 "Y" registration Ford Mondeo LX. Apparently, it's a basic model but when he bought it there were a few aftermarket bits added to it including alloys and spoiler. It's a stunning example for the year - absolutely...

I apologise if this is a silly question but to save time at the station I was wondering when the London bound train arrives at Nuneaton will the first class coaches be at the front or rear of the train - also the same question coming back from London to Birmingham. I have my tickets - I...

The one I bought is the same as the picture I posted above. It's a regular sized white mug with a red background applied with the current white lettering Virgin Trains logo. On the back of the mug, in white lettering, reads - "London to Manchester in under 2 hours. Full to empty mug in...

Hi all, Is there such a thing as a website that shows a route timetable with all calling stations from the start of the journey to the end? I think I've seen one before but can't remember which site. Many thanks, Steve.

Many thanks for the recent replies - I think these should be my final two questions now :roll: Just trying to decide what train to book coming back from Euston to New Street. I've decided all that I want to do in London is visit Oxford Street and the shops that are there - is Oxford Street...

I watched this great video on Youtube someone made of highlights between Glasgow and London and they played "Sugar Town" by Nancy Sinatra on arrival at Euston. I was wondering if playing music at the end of the journey was the norm - hence the reason for my post - so far I've only done short...

Hi all, When is the cheapest time to travel from the West Midlands to Carlisle/Glasgow with Virgin? I've been looking into taking a trip upto the Lake District to Carlisle or through Carlisle to Glasgow because I've been told that the trip is quite special. I'm ideally looking for first...

Hi all, Does anyone know if the Daily Mirror are going to run the Virgin Trains promotion again? Many thanks, Steve.

Hi all, I've noticed that some people on the forum have "owner of xxxxxx" in thier posts. I clicked on one of them at the link went to a site called "Million Numbers". Just curious as to what this is all about - is it just so that you can use the number of forums, etc and there are no...

Many thanks for the replies. Can I assume that on the 0859 from Liverpool to London via Nuneaton only the complimentary breakfast (trial) would be served at seat and any other complementaries I would need to collect from the train shop, and that this would also be the case on a return trip with...

Many thanks for all the helpful replies. Just trying to get my head around the London Underground map - the first time I've even looked at one in years. If I've read this correctly - Euston, Oxford Circus and St. Pancras are all on the same tube line - Victoria Line - the light blue one on...

Just an update - managed to get one from the same eBay seller. I think I got a good deal as well - £2 and £1.70 P&P (I think) - the £2 was waived by eBay because I had a voucher from them for upto £3 off in the category. So, I just had to pay £1.70. Steve.

Hi all, Is it true that at the end of Virgin Pendolino journeys they play music over the PA/tannoy system? I haven't been on a Pendolino at the end of a journey before - it's something I've read elsewhere - I just think it's nice. Steve.

Hi all, I'm planning a trip from Nuneaton to London Euston for next Saturday, 20th June. I've been thinking about taking a long-ish journey in first class on a Virgin Pendolino and I noticed the early morning services direct from Nuneaton to London Euston. Ideally I'd love to travel...

Many thanks for the quick replies. In terms of shops, I seem to like WHSmith and HMV most of all - there the main ones that I had in mind - always seem to make a point of calling in when I am in major towns and cities that have them. I don't ever remember visiting London before - although we...

Hi all, I'm planning a trip down from Nuneaton to London Euston for next Saturday, the 20th June. I've never been to London before - just wondering what to expect - and how long to stay for before coming back. I'm now thinking about staying for a couple of hours if I can find something to...

Travelled with Wrex and Shrops once from Wolverhampton to Telford on a West Midlands Day Ranger as I fancied my first loco/MK3 journey in about 10 years - unfortunately had to stand as there were no free seats in standard. But I've heard nothing but good things about them. Brought back happy...

Hi all, Sorry if a thread on this has already been started. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/8099912.stm I don't know that much about it but I'd love to see some improvements in Lincolnshire - my brother lives in Louth which hasn't had it's own station for a long time - I think you have to...
