Well, they do (or at least someone does), table 65 is the West Coast timetable, and table 51 is West Coast. Unfortunately the only way I know of to get these full timetables is to buy the National Rail TimetableJonathan said:I would have been interested on them but I don't travel with Virgin any more because I don't want to stand in a Voyager or Pendo. The only reason I would have ever gone on a Voyager since they came into service was to see and ride proper trains but now there history I will NEVER use Virgin ever again.
I still don't get why they can't produce one timetable for Cross Country and one for West Coast like they used to in about 1997 then Virgin had PROPER TRAINS.
That must be the most bizarre excuse ever! hock:Chaz said:I emailed Virgin to ask why they didn't have timetables on there site (Which I emailed them ages ago) and they came back with so people wouldn't use the wrong tickets on trains etc. so they had to used the Automatic system.
Chaz said:They do produce entire booklets of them - They're just really hard to get. I picked up my 2002 copy at Euston years ago. They print more when there are major changes to the timetable.

AlexS said:Yes, but doesn't that train take quite a while by bumbling along via Bolton?

DON'T BOTHER!!! - timetables don't mean a great deal to Virgin anyway!

Yeah, I grabbed a copy in Torquay train station, at the time when the Manchester Olympics were on. Incidently, I had travelled down on a 47+mk2 set all the way from Manchester Piccadilly to Paignton direct. I remember doing H-O around Nuneaton as well, but I'm afraid I didn't get the loco's number
Return though was on a crappy AW 158 set from Weston Super Mare, via Ludlow. I hate long distance 158's- I think AW is one of the biggest offenders of this "rule". (I'm thinking of their 10:50 Man Picc to Pnz)
That's seems to be almost normal now.tubechallenger said:Ooh you had that experience too Chris?
I was in one which was late when it arrived so it was 10 minutes delayed for its return!
