It’s a record-breaking Easter getaway on Virgin Trains with advance bookings around 10 per cent up on last year.
“Our trains are incredibly busy in the run-up to Easter, especially with more people than ever switching from road to rail after recent disruption on the M1,” said Arthur Leathley, Communications Director of Virgin Trains.
“The high demand proves we were right to introduce 32 per cent more trains in our high-frequency timetable just over two years ago. We will add more trains for Maundy Thursday tomorrow, which is expected to be the busiest day for people heading off for a break.”
Virgin Trains link London Euston with the West Midlands, North Wales, North West England and Scotland, and Birmingham with Edinburgh and Glasgow through Cheshire, Lancashire and Cumbria.
