Mmm, when these webpages were created those were the terminology. Note
the date on that Virgin link...

Argh, yes, good point - the Virgin trains 'West Coast Update' pamphlet
is indeed from 2007. Tried again and I can't find anything on their
website for '08. Poor show.


Could THIS possibly be the background to that odd Evening Standard story a
week or two back about Virgin Offpeak change? I.e, non-removal of the SVR
restrictions leads to (Christmas) fare rises?


Except that Virgin *are* removing restrictions from 24th to 2nd. FWIW
thats in NFM01 IIRC.

Did anyone with inside info
(such as Newsrail Express) hear anything more on that subject at all BTW?


Nope. It was a total nonsense of a story.

The only thing in the latest Newsrail Express relating to Virgin is that
they are reinstating the no break of journey allowed on outward journey
restriction for various off-peak tickets including the 2C (ie PRE-EUS)
and 3A (ie LAN-EUS) restrictions.
