I have only travelled once with Virgin Trains and that was Reading to Oxford, all of 30 minutes, but it was a pleasant experience with on time departures.

However, I recently had a friend who travelled to the south coast with them on a slightly more modern train, one with gadgets and shops on board.

I’m a little “picky” with regard to the 767. With the 3 types available, I don’t like the -200 series because it’s too short, whereas the -400 series just doesn’t appeal, perhaps because it has had a few changes made; length, winglets etc. But the -300 is just perfect.

Ryanair and BMIbaby have both done it with logojets and advertisements on the tail of aircraft. I don’t think it’s an effective method of advertising though.

That aircraft just looks dreadfully cluttered with text everywhere.

They missed a bit..!!

I would of thought it did mean that – ex Ansett Australia and ex Singapore, but not ex Qantas? I’m puzzled..

Seen a few photographs like this on the forums. Something to do with the aircraft not being loaded from the front.

Preston,

I don’t think that by having to change trains 3 times you incur 3 separate fares. I travelled to my home town from Gatwick with two train companies and only paid one fare – I was not told that because I had to change trains, I would have to pay an extra couple of quid.
