Well, exactly. Sometimes you end up at the back of the train, so you have to run to the front to make sure that it doesn't start moving again before you get there. Unfortunately it normally does.Madeleine McCann wrote:One of their low-points is not stopping at an advertised station, my stop incidentally, because "the platform is too short" so whizzing on another twenty miles for me to get another train back.

Peace and quiet
Jovis, that was actually rts's comment, not mine. Perhaps you ought to edit.Jovis wrote:Well, exactly.

These new refurbished trains may have these great leather seat, but there not even comfortable, the new layout with its much smaller buffet area, 32 inches seat pitch and only 2 tables per carrige which arn't even wide enough for two laptops opposite each other is just an excuss to cram even more passengers onto already overcrowded services.rts wrote:Sporting a headache, I was enticed by the Quiet Carriage (and it's leather seats)
And those new seats are especially annoying when you only ever use the train around lunchtime on a Saturday when theirs hardly anyone on the train. God help me on friday when i've got to get the train at 4.30.
Argh, the Spanish woman (possibly an accomplice) gets on my tits too. She was once close to attacking me with some sort of facial scrub but I just managed to get away and hide in Debenhams.

Where do they say that?barcode wrote:virgin say there don;t lose these route until start of December: strange
http://www.virgintrains.co.uk says (accurately) that they stopped running the franchise on 11th November.
In fact, I believe they are co-running it with Arriva until the December timetable change.
That's probably to do with the fact that parts of the old Virgin CrossCountry route (esp. into Scotland, and to Brighton) have not been transferred to the new Arriva CrossCountry franchise.barcode wrote:The people in the Glasgow office, so speak with them
