Voyagers on Euston - Birmingham route

[bengolding]

Does anyone know which services on the Euston - Birmingham - Euston route are now operated by Super Voyagers until early September, due to some Pendolinos transferring to the Birmingham - Scotland route?

One certainty is the 08:03 Euston - Birmingham, a Super Voyager this morning therefore offering an inferior breakfast service in First. The TM advised this is definitely not a Pendolino til early Sept, but the very helpful people at Virgin Customer Relations said it was a one off.

This is the service it normally runs on which means the 09.50 return from Brum to Euston, unfortunately for me as I often get the 10.24 from Rugby which is the 09.50 from Brum.

The 1343 London - Glasgow used to be one last year.

That was a 5 car Voyager today.

That was a 5 car Voyager today.

I'm sure that's supposed to be a double M-F, with the rear set (on Fridays only) detaching at BHM and sitting around for a few hours before forming the 1920 BHM GLC.

Bring in the Pretendilino, at least it can cater for a proper meal service.

The 2-car mini-Voyager (221 144) was sat powered up in P8 at Crewe around 1500 today, pretending to be going to Glagow next stop Warrington. There were a few people on board - I imagine it was a crew training session.
