Never go on a Virgin train........

Would you want to go on a train that doesn't go all the way?

I used one to go from paddington to north wales a few weeks ago, and it was nearly 1hr late. Blamed it on the incoming service from manchester.

There is a virgin train that runs late everymorning from manchester to london, supposed to get to MK at 6.57am, as it's always late it gets "retimed" as a 7.15 - even then it's usually 15 minutes later

Station announcer - The 06.57 has been retimed to 07:15 and is running approximately 11 minutes late
