Is there a Virgin Cross Country Depot at Reading or Brighton?
I know there are depots in Bournemouth and Birmingham, but where else in
the South are they?
Thanks.
I may be wrong but I think Virgin go to Eastleigh now instead of Bournemouth
for stabling? I've seen a few there at 2am on my way home from LDN Waterloo
on regular occasions.
One or two workings start from Southampton and stable at Eastleigh but
Bournemouth is more important.
Depends what you mean by depot, there's a servicing shed at Three
Bridges but I don't think it's a train crew base anymore, Reading has
become a main crew base. Brighton workings were always planned to be
covered from Three Bridges possibly Reading crews work lodging turns
now.
Brighton has a fully staffed Virgin traincrew depot (drivers, Train
Managers, stewards).
