I was wondering if anyone has had problems doing the free Virgin West Coast weekend upgrade with an Anytime Short ticket? All the the Anytime Returns that I used to use on the WCML in northern England have been changed to Anytime Short Returns. The wording of the Virgin offer predates the introduction of Anytime Short tickets, but I'd say that they are a subset of Anytime tickets and not a separate type.

What do you mean by an Anytime Short ticket? I'm not sure if I've heard of such a thing - that's a new one on me. I can't find any mention of it on the Virgin Trains website.

Anytime Return - outward portion valid for 5 days, return portion one month.

This is open to abuse on shorter routes where Anytime Returns are available so Anytime Short Returns have been introduced on some flows:

Anytime Short Return - outward portion valid for one day, return within one month.
