I understand that these are a good stream of revenue for Virgin. But, if given the choice, would they put some of the Voyagers on Manchester or Birmingham services instead?
I travel from London to Milton Keynes at least thrice a week. On the return, typically between 5pm and 7pm, I try my best to get on the xx02 (ex-Chester/N Wales) service (for coach D as the regulars will be attest to). Even when it's only a single SuperVoyager, it's rarely more than 2/3-full.
Today I got the 1747, ex-MAN. It was completely rammed. Whenever I get a Manchester or Birmingham service, in spite of their trebled frequency and more standard seating compared to the Chester Voyagers, they're noticeably a lot busier.
Hence: the question in the first paragraph.
Enlighten me.
