Last two days now and this one is Aberdeen via Haymarket using Virgin upto Edinburgh then Scotrail again for the run to Aberdeen.

Virgin Rail.

What a delight it was to travel on this service.....bacon roll to top off the hotel breakfast.....and a nice chicken salad for lunch washed down with a tumbler of red.

The steward on this service was excellent the best of the trip...chatting with the travellers, giving advice, and providing a very efficient catering service. this guy and the rest of the crew get 10/10. I know us Yorkies don't give 10 but he was a Sheffield lad so we stick together and he gets the full top marks.

A Virgin Voyager is very similar to a Cross Country one even down to the electrically operated toilet doors. These have the same issue on both companies trains in that, every so often, a passenger can hit the alarm button by mistake when trying to lock the door.

As the really old grumpy one needed to go he was advised of the potential for this....it had already gone off a couple of times that day. Normally it goes off once and is ignored by the crew, only if it continues to do they respond.

One has to give Geoff some credit as the doors had hardly closed before the alarm went off and again and again and again and......5 times in total.

10/10 for the lady steward who responded immediately and "sorted him out".

So for the top class crew, good catering and the in journey entertainment...virgin are top dogs of the week 9/10 overall
