Additional Virgin non-Pendolino trains

For those of you who are interested.... photo's of the new set are available here http://www.paulbigland.fotopic.net/c1719883.html

I wonder if EWS repaint one of their Class 90s to match the Pendolini-esque livery applied to the coaches?

With these services being replaced with 5 car 221's

06:20 Rugby to London Euston
09:50 Birmingham New Street to London Euston
10:30 Birmingham New Street to London Euston
13:30 Birmingham New Street to London Euston
17:45 Wolverhampton to London Euston
08:03 London Euston to Birmingham New Street
11:43 London Euston to Birmingham New Street
13:43 London Euston to Birmingham New Street
15:23 London Euston to Wolverhampton
20:03 London Euston to Wolverhampton

That might lead to some complaints from passengers with First Class tickets
No where near enough capacity, unless they recalssify the intermediate coach (but there is no way I'd use that!)
Equally, the breakfast and evening meals will need to be imported and served quick!
