After the long awaited £8 billon pound overhaul of the West Coast Mainline (WCML) The Virgin Trains network is reaching out to every customers needs. Along side the the fast,realiable service comes a graceful sense of achievement for Sir Richard Branson, trains are more faster and provide high frequency services that wouldn't have been considered in the past years of the British Rail era. If your more of a commuter, the connections to UK destinations are stress free and easily accessable and central focus of services, connect with the captial and allow you to continue the bussiness away from other surroundings. Onbaord the new, spacious trains is a flashy, modern look to how trains should be run. The smaller InterCity services that are offered by Virgin Trains use the Voyager and Super Voyager fleet, which is imbedded with technology you would expect to see in an aircraft cockpit! From the perspective of a first time customer it all seems crazy, standard class brings you a meaningful amount of space and facilities which inculde an onboard shop. On the more recent Pendilino trains which operate along the Glasgow- London route you are cascaded with panoramic views of the Lake District as you sit back and relax with the on demand radio sevice built in at every seat. Keeping the kids entertained is also something the staff take strongly to onboard offering chilren an entertainment bag free of charge through the journey. Another unique feature across the Virgin Fleet is the WiFi connection via a T-Mobile hotspot, in my opinion this has brought the train into the modern world. E-Mails and socail networking sites can be accessed meaning your always up to date. Remember to always book in advance, ticket prices can be reduced by half for longer journeys. however, Virgin offers many offers which include the fares from £1 leaving from Manchester Piccidilly to London Euston. This capitialises on the fact it saves customers on average £60 on a ticket. Overall, Virgin Trains is fastly becoming popular with a wide selection of people and opening different corridors of the United Kingdom.
