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...

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...

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...

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...

Hi, Has anyone ever travelled in first class on London Midland on the London Euston to Crewe route? Just wondering what to expect. I understand that they use Class 350 Desiros? I've travelled first class before with Virgin on a Pendolino and with Arriva CrossCountry on a Turbostar -...

Hi all, I suspect that it isn't possible but is there any way to use Plusbus before the start of a train journey? I have to catch a bus to my nearest station which costs £3.30. Is there anyway to reduce this cost using Plusbus - from what I can tell I don't think there is but I just...

Hi all, Is there a booklet or ideally online document available with all the Virgin services listed in it? Many thanks, Steve.

Hi all, Not sure if I've asked this question before or not - if I have, please accept my apologies. What are my options for travelling from the West Midlands to the Lake District with Virgin on a Pendolino, ideally in first class but also in standard if the cost is prohibitive. My...

Hi, Is it possible to make a booking with Virgin Trains in first class and specifically request one of the seats by the windows which have a table with a seat either side - I think they might be called 1+1 seats? If so, what do I need to request? Do they have any seats like these anywhere...

Hi, Does anyone know how busy are London Midland services between London Euston and Nuneaton on Saturdays? I was thinking about a run down to London Euston first class on an early Saturday Virgin train NUN to EUS direct and then coming back on a £5 ticket that London Midland have been...

Hi all, Just out of curiosity is there any specific time or part of journey that first class passengers on Virgin benefit from at seat service? I travelled with Virgin first class between Coventry and Birmingham New Street and then onwards to Wolverhampton but wasn't offered a drink or...

Hi all, I appreciate that this is probably a long shot but does anyone know where I might be able to get a red Virgin Trains mug from please? I was watching one on eBay but I missed the end of the auction. Many thanks, Steve.

Hi all, Can you buy West Midlands Day Rangers from London Midland ticket machines or online in advance? Many thanks, Steve.

Hi all, Just thought I'd let everyone know how I got on today. I spent far too much money - days out are a very rare treat for me as I am pretty much housebound due to health problems so I don't worry too much about spending a bit more - I probably didn't need to spend half the money I did on...

Hi all, Does anyone know for sure if Wrexham & Shropshire accept the West Mids Day Ranger (I think the only valid part of their route would be stations between Tame Bridge Parkway/Wolverhampton and Gobowen?). The official website on NRE doesn't mention them but I thought this might be...

Hi all, I'd really like to take a trip on a Virgin Pendolino for at least an hour and I'd also love to travel first class as I've never done so before - there is also the fact that standard class always seems busy on the Pendolinos. I live near Nuneaton and originally, I was thinking about...

Hi all, On which route/s are CrossCountry running the HST's? I'm planning a day out with a West Midlands Day Ranger and would like to travel on one, if possible. Am I correct in thinking they run down to the West Country - so I could travel from New Street to Bromsgrove or somewhere...

Hi all, What's the longest journey I can take on a Virgin Pendolino using a WMDR? Rugby to Crewe? Northampton to Wolverhampton? It says on the VT map that Rugby is a limited stop - how many trains can I expect per day? I appreciate that Virgin don't officially accept the WMDR but I...
