CrossCountry
By the looks of things it was the Penzance - Glasgow that has struck the tree
I'm travelling 1st class on Cross Country next week from Edinburgh to Darlington. What is XC 1st actually like if any of you here have used it? I've read into it and it seems quite dire compared to Virgin East Coast. I've read you get complimentary soft drink but not alcohol - you have to purchase this!?

(14 Mar 2016, 9:33 pm)citaro5284 Aye thats about right. Whenever possible go for VTEC. I travelled from Birmingham to Newcastle once and was given a soft drink, 2 bags of crisps, a piece of cake and a piece of shortbread - and that was it!

Hi,
I went past Tyne Yard yesterday on a VTEC service to Newcastle and I saw a Cross Country voyager lurking in the back of the yard. Does anyone know if they have some of their Voyagers serviced/stabled there overnight?
