About this product

Product Information

John Balmforth provides readers with a look at the history of Virgin Trains as they celebrate 15 years of service. Emerging from the franchising process in the 1990s, Virgin Trains, although branded as a single entity, was in fact the product of two distinct franchises: the West Coast Main Line and InterCity Cross-Country. The two franchises were, to a considerable extent, amongst the most difficult on offer - the former as a result of its ageing infrastructure and rolling stock and the latter due to the convoluted route network over which it operated - and in its early years of operation Virgin Trains suffered significant adverse comment. However, as the WCML modernisation scheme was gradually completed and as the new high-speed Voyager and Pendelino units came into service, so the performance of the franchises improved as did the company's reputation. However, come franchise renewal, the Cross-Country franchise was modified and reallocated to Arriva, leaving Virgin Trains to continue operating the West Coast franchise. This album will mark the 15th anniversary of Virgin Trains and will be packed with colour illustrations portraying the evolution of Virgin Trains operations over the period from 1997 to 2012.

    • Nice book

      This is more of a collection of photos with detailed descriptions of each picture. Most pictures of good quality but one picture has an issue with reproduction where something has gone awry. As I have spent many hours on the Virgin Cross County Voyagers prior to moving to the States, this is a nice reminder of those times on the sleek (often overcrowded!) trains.

    • Good book. Good photos with narrative.

      good informative book. lots of colour photos documenting the virgin trains period. Book mostly features Pendolino and Voyager images. Well worth the money.

    • Great book, fabulous photos and excellent information

      I bought this book for my Grandson who is a Virgin Trains fanatic - he loves it. Can't wait for the Virgin Trains East Coast book to come out.
