    Found a train from Man to Portsmouth for 12.50 from virgin trains, 4 stops mind and 7 hours!

    Virgin Trains don't run from Manchester to Portsmouth, do you mean you used the Virgin Trains website and one of the trains you will use is operated by Virgin? :)

    If you read above, each leg of the journey has a train operator, Southern, London Underground, Transpennine Express, National Express East Coast etc.

    I thought you had meant you had found a train operated by Virgin the whole way (which doesn't exist) :)

    Booked it but phoned up before to queery the jounery and they said the advance tickets are fully booked. Booked it online anyway, says it's been processed. So guess I will have to wait and see... cheers for the help
