Big ThoughtsTime is a precious commodity. And we never seem to have enough of it. In fact, doesn't it seem to be in ever-shorter supply these days? We rush from place to place, chasing time and our tails in ever-decreasing circles. We never seem to have that moment to sit back and think, to reassess and contemplate, to enjoy our own company. To have that big idea. Calling off the Chase

From the First Step
But of course stations are still an integral part of your journey. That's why Virgin is investing in stations across the network. Improved ticket areas, waiting rooms and toilets and expanded car-parking facilities - upgrading to AA Secured Car Park status - all mean your journey is a smoother, stress-free experience, offering you that all important but often elusive peace of mind.

Play it Your WayAs the countryside zooms by, shoot the files rising into the sky. A perfect way to relieve that work-time stress! The Icing on the Cake
Virgin Trains turn travel from a chore into an expansive, fulfilling experience. Journeys you thought you had to endure are given back to you in hundreds of small happy moments. |
We all have to travel, the business executive and PA more than most. Unfortunately, travelling is generally a pain. Traffic jams, road rage, breakdowns, check-in queues, airport security, cramped plane seats, passport control, airport security (again), the list just keeps on going. However there is an alternative.
Your journey begins as soon as you take that first step. You don't want to be queuing or marking time at the station. Book online and simply pick up your tickets at the FastTicket machines to be found on the concourses of the majority of our key stations. And down with the station snack rush! Once on the train just head to the onboard shop and pick up a magazine, cappuccino or snack to round off the travel experience.
Travelling First Class is extraordinary. Before your train leaves, recharge your batteries in one of our exclusive lounges available at six key hubs around the country.
