Virgin Miscellany

Virgin Trains: First Class Seat Sale - booking opens next Wednesday (23rd) and lasts until the 29th (or until the 50,000 seats are sold). Travel dates are between Saturday 10th December 2011 and Sunday 22nd January 2012. Birmingham-London travel will cost £17 each way - child discounts available but NOT railcard discounts.

Virgin Trains: First Class refreshments - breakfast on the 23rd December will be the last First Class meal served before the Christmas break. Full First Class Meal service will resume on Tuesday 3rd January 2012.

Virgin Trains: railcard ticket validity - Barry Doe in Rail issues 681 and 683 has explained the changes that Virgin have introduced on Railcard off-peak validity on Peak period trains. The off-peak price availability remains BUT the tickets must only be for the Virgin part of the journey. So for example, a railcard holder can still travel from Euston to Wolverhampton at peak times for an off-peak fare but must re-book from Wolverhampton if s/he wants to travel say to Shrewsbury

Also from Rail issue 683 is a news piece explaining the 36 week extension to the Virgin WCML franchise...
