Somehow I can't see Crosscountry spending money on their fleet of Voyagers...

Virgin WCML deal extended for another two years.
New routes from Euston to Shrewsbury and Blackpool to be evaluated.

Not sure I could face a few hours on a CrossStinky or the hell that is New Street, just for a £1 ticket

Emergency sand used too late.
I looked at RTT last night and noticed a lot of cancellations on the WCML because of signalling problems and the few trains that did went through were severely delayed(3 hours it would seem) yet metro passengers complain at minor 20 min delays...
See it could always be worse.

I don't believe I've just made that mistake... was just after reading your post earlier mentioning 155!
Looks like Virgin Trains are giving the Pendolinos a lick of paint, one noticeable difference is the removal of the black & white stripes on the doors which has been replaced with dark grey.
