This may be a revolutionary thought but why don't they move the trolley to the other portion of the train at one of the stops enroute
They didn't have time to do that as they were too busy explaining there were two trains coupled together :roll:

Think you hit the nail on the head yorksrob, the price, its a sham the only way XC can control passenger numbers is by making too expensive, but i guess there is no other way in the short term.
Currently on the 16:27 XC from Piccadilly to Stafford. There is no refreshments but 3 staff to check tickets/sell upgrades. Toilets stink already and there's just a general feeling that all they wanna do is take your money!

Has anyone ever taken XC to task on their shoddy yet uncheap service? And was the Virgin offering worse than this?
That's because Crosscountry's HSTs are used solely on the North East to South West corridor. They haven't been used on any services from Manchester since the summer of 2010.As for the HSTs I've sadly yet to see one on the WCML.
But CrossCountry have been working the franchise for sometime now surely they could have lowered the prices if that was an issue?
But that doesn't solve the capacity issue. You need capacity first.
Virgin took away the capacity then increased the prices - if you wish to undo it you must first add the capacity back in.
Could they not be forced to put more coaches on the train?
Which is of course yet another problem with the concept of a privatised railway rather than a publically operated service. Profit should go into improving services or reducing fares but, and rightly so given the current system, instead it goes towards maxmising shareholder value as this is the legal duty of a limited company.
Which coaches would these be?
Well Coaches B and E for a start, they always seem to be A,C,D,F!
