Yet more Virgin vs Chiltern adverts...

[AlterEgo]

Virgin should come up with some inventive scheme where you might book for a 'window' of departures instead

That's called an Off-Peak Return.

Seriously, you want to make the fares system more complex by adding yet another fare, with yet another array of conditions?

That sounds similar to the process of 'simplification', which has made things really, err, simple!

"Ladies and gentlemen this is your driver speaking, we are now leaving the London area and cruising up to 125mph, travel time today will be 1hr and 10 minutes and the temperature in Birmingham today is a rather mild 14 degrees celsius with a light south-westerly breeze, thank you for choosing to fly with Virgin Trains."

Well, Virgin do have an airline in their portfolio, and that was their first transport venture. I wouldn't mind an on-train weather update either! Spanish trains tell you about the weather via screens, I am surprised this doesn't occur in the UK since talking about the weather is a national pastime....
