Today's trip to London had to be broken at Coventry on the outward leg so I took advantage of Virgin's extremely cheap First Class Single fare (£4.30) in order to kill an hour of waiting in the New Street First Class lounge. Access to refreshments, papers, and free Wifi make this fare a 'steal'... Note that if you want to top it off with a coffee on the train, you need to be near to the kitchen!
Onwards from Coventry on a mid-morning Pendolino using the £18 advance single standard fare. Good value if you can book far enough ahead to guarantee a table! Alas, the Wifi failed me today (but T-Mobile did not quibble about refunding the charge).
Back on 14.50 Chiltern from Marylebone at the amazing advance single standard fare of £5. Table, space, and reasonable quiet - no wonder I love Chiltern!
