4 car Virgin Voyager ?

[6Gman]

The departure boards at Crewe today were showing the 1449 Chester (1310 ex Euston) as a Four Car train.

Can anybody explain what was going on? I thought all Virgin's were 5 car.

It was a five car Voyager, with one coach locked out of use, Virgin did not specify why!

Ah! That was my assumption.

Vehicle fault? VIP? Perhaps we will never know ...

There was a set running around with a coach locked OOU due to overheating. Can't remember if it was a 221 or 390 though.

Unlikely. He prefers to sit on the vestibule floor!

We often have 4 car voyagers down in this neck of the woods especially the 1644 sardine can from Bristol Temple Meads to Plymouth/Penzance which get cancelled at Exeter when is a high tide with a stiff breeze

Yes, but that's Cross Country. The entire Virgin Trains fleet, of tilting Super Voyagers, is formed of 5 cars per set (20 sets). Cross Country have 34 4-car Voyagers, 3 4 car Super Voyagers and 24 5 car Super Voyagers (these with tilt disabled)
