Virgin Trains

RE: Virgin Trains
I have been reading that the position of the Virgin Super Voyager fleet is not really secure beyond the current franchise extension end.

Is it the alack of capacity on some Anglo-Scottish services that is the stumbling block and the fact that if they operate in double formation that they need a second set of Onboard Staff , there has even been talk of a Mini pendolino with maybe six , seven or maybe eight coaches to replace them .

221144 was disbanded because 4 cars where insufficient and Virgin was finding it increasingly difficult to roster the 4 car sets to suitable work , something that Arriva Cross Country are finding to there peril with the 220 Fleet .
