I thought at least some of the 180s were going to be with TPE for Dec 9th when Virgin stop their MAN to Scotland services..and TPE take it over..? Thats what we've heard at work.

I've been reading a few posts and ive picked up that there is a 90 running around between BHM and MAN also to Euston......? If so does anyone have the diagrams for this? I know i should know with my job :D but sadly i dont! And im on holiday :D Many Thanks if someone could help

They went downhill after they lost the 43s. Passenger numbers were rising and trains were getting smaller.....He never did anything, a woman did most of his work he was just there for the face! I think Voaygers were a complete mistake :D Apart from driver comfort which i believe improved a...

Virgin XC would have done so much better without Chris Gibb....He was just a tiny bit useless and a complete waste of space. Thats what i think :D :D Has anyone met him by theway??

Yeah i think theyre is a straight through train on sunday night departs durham at about 23.32 or something :D

I agree FC in many Voyagers is empty however at peak times and busy services standard class ticket holders just go and sit where they please. There has been countless times trains have been delayed due to arguing about who should sit where. I think if FC is going to be on a train, keep it FC...

I've just been reading through these posts and many people seem to forget how busy the north east down to the south east gets. Everyone is going on about NE to SW but NE to SE can get just as busy. Shame to see Virgin lose it!

Im going to make a fool of myself but its not Manchester Picc isit? it just looks a bit like it :D

Tyne and wear metro! Wahey. I use that nearly every day from St. james

Haha I have to say I dont think anyone is suprised by this! I dont understand why they announce their products so early! I mean they have said they're going to create the 'Midland Mainline' but i doubt that'll be out for a good few years!

Oh! thats tragic. I just heard he got his foot stuck in a drain on the radio and you know thought 'yeah yeah' . But that's certainly a sad case.

Yeah so do i! Im in sunny Edinburgh, not too bad here. Just come up from Oxford they're ok aswell aren't they? Didn't that man who died in Hull get his foot stuck in a drain or something?

yes i agree! :D I was stranded in Plymouth for 2 days so i dont think the south are too good either! ;) This is the part of working on the railways i think everyone hates lol.

Yes i don't think many will be surprised Pete :D they'll change it again in a few days, or maybe in a few hours. Now that's something that wouldn't surprise me!

Can i just say at the start of this thread someone was asking if there were any HSTs on the Bournemouth route, i gather you mean through banbury oxford reading basingstoke winchester southampton brockenhurst and bournemouth. Unfortunately there isn't any scheduled HST sets for this route...

do you mean now? there isn't any VT services from Padd to anywhere. Yes you are! im not an oldie, and you're a little kid :D !

Oh well i'm only 28 Pete not oldies like you lot!!! lol :D so I wouldn't know :) Yes Tom they did a while back. I just thought as EB have created all routes that are still in use, he may have meant Euston.

There isn't a service from London Paddington to BHM is there? Let alone running through Coventry. I think you mean a service from Euston.

I know i don't know why people come on here if all they're going to do is rant and rave at what somebody's said! For goodness sake....grow up!

Even in the week when the VXC services get really busy people just pile in Club Class anyway, so you don't get any refreshments because the host cannot get through the carriage. So it's hardly ever worth paying out for Club Class on VXC. But definately is on VWC services.
