Virgin Trains Birmingham-London services from 9th December 2012

In the absence of anything to the contrary, it is assumed that Virgin Trains will continue to run the services between New Street and Euston after the existing franchise formally ends on Saturday 8th December 2012...  Thus, Virgin have issued the PDF of the timetable from Sunday 9th December which is available for download at http://www.virgintrains.co.uk/assets/pdf/timetables/vt-timetable-a-12-2012.pdf
