Virgin_Trains_Carpet

Charting the steady decline of @virgintrains - dirty carpets, drain-smells, lack of WiFi and talking loos. Send us gripes and peculiar VT experiences.

Christ on a bike. Just getting on the 1748 @LNER service to Leeds. It’s even more pisspoor than the usual @VirginTrains shambles.

The train manager doesn’t even know which tickets are valid.

And your carpets are terrible.

Bring on the next 2 hours.

[Virgin_Trains_Carpet @VT_Carpet]

Crazy sardines *again* as @VirginTrains put on a 9 coach service into Euston. £216 well spent.

#shambles

[Virgin_Trains_Carpet @VT_Carpet]

Literally got no idea what time I’ll be home due to the late departure and the lack of information from @VirginTrains

Shambolic.

[Virgin_Trains_Carpet @VT_Carpet]

More empty apologies from @VirginTrains as *another* 1807 Euston to Liverpool service departs late.

Tomorrow I might tell you who won the darts or who leaves Bake Off this week.

@VirginTrains It’s a spoiler.

You’ve been spoiling our railways for years.

@VirginTrains

Mrs Brittas was in cahoots with organised crime who wanted to stop RIPA. Nadia was the bombmaker. And Julia Montague stayed dead. Happy ending as PC Budd was exonerated.

That’s for making my journey a late, uncomfortable piss-smelling shambles.

You’re welcome.

[Virgin_Trains_Carpet @VT_Carpet]

@VirginTrains I have to be to commute on your pisspoor services.

[Virgin_Trains_Carpet @VT_Carpet]

@The_Dr_Mike @VirginTrains @richardbranson No trains to worry about at all on Necker Island.

A private Caribbean island bought with our cash.

3 trips to London in the past 4 weeks and 3 lots of delays. Shouldn’t things get better as you get more experienced and charge the consumer more to travel? Come on @VirginTrains sort it out. I spend more time on #delayrepay than I do in the office these days! 🤯

[Virgin_Trains_Carpet @VT_Carpet]

@VirginTrains @chris_116i Anticipated WiFi arrival 2019. That’s despite ‘free superfast WiFi for every passenger’ being promised in the Virgin franchise renewal back in 2013.

Which was clearly a lie.

[Virgin_Trains_Carpet @VT_Carpet]

And now delayed due to a ��failed train’ in the Rugby area.

A failed train? Try a failed train service.

Couldn’t make it up @VirginTrains

[Virgin_Trains_Carpet @VT_Carpet]

Still sat here spending my journey listening to other passengers endlessly perform their morning ablutions. Nice.

Not even an acknowledgment from @VirginTrains

Standard in every respect.

[Virgin_Trains_Carpet @VT_Carpet]

Monday morning commute spent hunched up next to the toilet wall as @VirginTrains can’t seem to muster up sufficient carriages.

Still, only £216 for a standard class return.

[Virgin_Trains_Carpet @VT_Carpet]

@VirginTrains If it helps, we’re just going through Little Haywood. I’d say that’ll see us in Stafford about 1935?

Or, to put it another way, 11 minutes late.

[Virgin_Trains_Carpet @VT_Carpet]

@VirginTrains

It seems we’re delayed. Again. I worked that out by looking out of the window and seeing we were in Nuneaton.

Anyone planning on updating us with an eta for Stafford? Reticence from the Train Manager.

1807 departure from Euston.

[Virgin_Trains_Carpet @VT_Carpet]

@VirginTrains Not a peep from the TM. But it’s 1927 and I’m still on board, so unless I’ve missed my stop....

#shambles

[Virgin_Trains_Carpet @VT_Carpet]

@VirginTrains Any ETA on when that’s likely to be?

I think I’m right in saying that “free superfast WiFi for all customers” was promised as part of your franchise renewal in 2013?

Is that correct?

[Virgin_Trains_Carpet @VT_Carpet]

PLEASE GIVE US WIFI. WE HAVE WORK TO DO!

Thanks.
Your customers.

@VirginTrains

[Virgin_Trains_Carpet @VT_Carpet]

I know. Frustrating to be late isn’t it. As a regular traveller on your pisspoor train services I can totally sympathise.

Respect for passengers?

[Richard Branson @richardbranson]

There’s very little that annoys me in life, but people turning up late really does. Punctuality shows organisation and respect for others https://t.co/n2jD8Qh43b
