So muggins has to go down south this weekend, and for once, I decided to take Virgin trains instead of Chiltern.
Now Virgin promises fast services to London from Birmingham. Which is good - on a Monday to Friday weekday.
Bring the weekend in... And things go downhill quickly.
Let's count the problems:
1) An Extra 35 minutes to the journey due to diversions
2) Not 1 diversion but 2! (via Nuneaton and Northampton)
3) an equipment change from a 9 car Pendolino to a 5 car Voyager (which reduces capacity)
4) Most annoyingly of all - no working at seat power!
I honestly give up with Virgin Trains some days....(with £41.90 for the privilege...)
