Well, I have only used Virgin cross country once, I travelled from Durham Citry to Birmingham New Street to get a connection to get back to Bletchley.
Anyway I boarded the train at Durham, it was pretty uncomfortable even then,not a lot of room, and as the journey unfolded things got even worse and at the peak of this horrendous journey we were stationery for quite some time owing to signal problems, the buffet on the train was closed because it had run out of things to sell AND the toilets on the train were an absolute disgrace, made you feel sick to open the door.
I vowed there and then...never again would I use a cross country service, of Virgin or any one else.Not that it mattered because I dont go far now anyway, thanks to ill health, but I will never forget that journey...ever.
For any tourists, Foriegners on that train it was a disgraceful advertisement for Britians railways.
