    odd notification on RTT

    Avanti West Coast rebrand

    Good to see Virgin Trains still exists on the fares system ... Ironically when printed the ticket showed as routing ‘Avanti’ ... Otherwise livery to me looks a little dull frankly - looks too over designed and bar the cab ends just looks a mess of colour as you go along (much like LNWRs...
