So looks like Virgin trains will be running this for a while yet
What gets me is that this is the busiest line and its no wonder Sir Grab-a-lot doesn't want to loose it, i use this line quite alot when going to london and this is one observation i have made
Virgin Birmingham to Euston 1hr 20 mins = £155
London Midland, Birmingham to Euston 2hr 10 mins = £70
So what am i actually getting for the extra £85, can it be argued well were getting you there quicker, but i would say well that means im spending less time on your train and your charging me more for that
if we applied the same logic to taxi drivers yes we would all get there quicker but it would cost more
Better seats maybe, not when your sat next to a 25 stone heffa and all you can do is look like a garfield stuck to the window
No wonder they don't want to loose this line, its a right fecking cash cow
