    I daren't apply for these because the form is not on a secure website (no padlock) so anybody could get my personal details from it. Anyone else have the same problem?

    Fair enough, but anyone can get your personal details from numerous places on the net if they really wanted to..............like https://www.b4usearch.com

    IF YOU'RE SKINT......
    Do I need it? Can I afford it? Can I find it cheaper anywhere else?

    IF YOU'RE NOT SKINT......
    Will I use it? Is it worth it? Can I find it cheaper anywhere else?

    You can do London - Edinburgh and Leeds - Edinburgh (I was on the train that did this only last weekend) but you can't do London - Exeter (unless you went via Birmingham which would be madness). Virgin do go on the East Coast Mainline but only on their cross-country trains and only north of Leeds / Doncaster.

    You should check that the route you ask for is valid otherwise it will just be a waste!
  • It gets very complicated. Good advice though to check first

    worked for me. cheers.
  • They will just fill trains that are not likely to sell out, so if you are applying, i suggest mid-week, and go for PM trains, more likely to get empty trains... Also, apply for valid routes, that dont need a change.
