Good blags

[Guest Kether]

Yesterday, I bought a standard class ticket for London - Glasgow and because standard was crowded and I didn't have a seat the train manager said I could sit in first class.

 

I then proceeded to get free food/drink for the rest of the journey and at the end cos I had been sweet talking the ladies looking after 1st class I got free beers too.

 

Winner.

I was just saying that southwest trains are shite as there the ones I use to get to London, but now you guys have pointed out the south/north thing, I feel much more educated, cheers

Interesting point and one I'd musing over too, after they'd go so far, yes.

I did think of that however I think that the name South West Trains is describing the operational region rather than the direction the train is travelling in.

 

Virgin is a brand name and has no relevance to operational regions

Be interesting to see where they ran if that were the case.
