Virgin Trains have provided excellent train travel services along the west coast since 1997. The company staff are all excellent as well. the services they provide on the virgin pendolino and super voyager services are impeccable. the services from virgin are punctual and the train is never 'crowded'. as Sir Richard Branson said in his statement “We also did not want to risk letting everybody down with almost certain bankruptcy at some time during the franchise as happened to GNER and National Express who overbid on the East Coast mainline. Sadly the Government has chosen to take that risk with First Group and we only hope they will continue to drive dramatic improvements on this line for years to come without letting everybody down." please sign this petition in the support of virgin trains and the great staff who work for them. Thank you .
