RE: Virgin Trains
As was said in comments section, it's going to be a challenge to keep the signal going given how patchy 3g/Mobile signals can be on the Pendolinos. |

RE: Virgin Trains
The East Coast Class 800 and 801 sets are to be known as 'Azuma', the Japanese word for 'east'. A nice nod to their Japanese heritage and a choice that complements the 'Pendolino' name quite well in my book. https://www.virgintrainseastcoast.com/ne...ouncement/

RE: Virgin Trains
Major delays tonight due to signalling problems between Crewe and Stoke, made worse by the line through Stafford being closed |

RE: Virgin Trains
Virgin Trains have now updated their Delay/Repay scheme to automatically pay compensation automatically in cash. Yesterday my train was 17 minutes late into Euston. This morning I had an e-mail telling me that I was to get £5.28 in compensation and this afternoon it was sent to my bank. All time rail mileage travelled 327264 miles |

RE: Virgin Trains
Some TOC's under the delay repay will fall over eventually , it wont happen straight away but it will happen. |

RE: Virgin Trains
The regime of Delay Repay is going to be penal to some operator's especially the longer distance operators like the former inter city routes . All that delay repay does is cause there to be arguments probably at controller level between Network Rail and the train operating companies . it doesn't fix the root cause of the delay. |

RE: Virgin Trains
Oh what a 12 hours Virgin Trains have had . Firstly yesterdays 1Z34 charter from Carlisle to Newport suffers a hot axlebox somewhere between Hartford and winsford and after inspection was only allowed to proceed into Winsford loop at 3mph , causing major delays to everything behind. Then this morning an overnight engineering possession was late in being given up and a freight train failure |
