Not sure where you got this information?

I've just spoken with Virgin Rail Customer Services (Tuesday 25 July 2006 at 16.30 hours) who confirm that the industrial action by Train managers on the Voyager cross Country services is still going ahead for the 4 days, 28 July to 31 July inclusive. There are some trains supposedly running on the Friday and Monday and if you check the Virgin Rail website you can download an Excel spreadsheet showing them.

Note that the West Coast services from London to the West Midlands, the North west and Scotland ARE NOT AFFECTED (excepting any engineering works that may be taking place!!)
