Virgin Trains - First Class

Hi,

I have booked my first ticket from Euston to Wolverhampton for a train departing at 11.23, as the two tickets came to £30ish. I know that they serve "light bites" but do they serve alcohol and is there a limit to how much you can have? (not that i'm planning to get drunk!)

    I'm sure they will. The last one I was on did.

    Not on my list of priority concerns when travelling though!

    What if there was no such thing as a rhetorical question?

    Happy birthday!

    They'll keep tabs on you though so if you want a sing a long expect to be asked to move.

    Also, they come round once in a blue moon with drinks so don't expect to get tanked up on the free ones!

  • Depends what day you are travelling at. Their weekend service is greatly reduced in FC.

    Could you take your first class ticket to the buffet/shop to get the inclusive drinks/snacks in the event you want one when the trolley isn't passing through?

    It may depend on the server and how busy it is. I once did Manchester to London and the chap was giving everybody double their order so he didn't have to come back :-)
    I need to think of something new here...

    Last time I travelled up from Euston to Crewe, mid week, mid morning they did. This was Oct last year. Get there a spot earlier, there's a good 1st class lounge at Euston with free wifi, coffee, juice, pastries etc. On the train they gave me soft drinks, tea/coffee, sarnie, crisps, biscuits, and offered one drink of booze. Don't forget wifi on the train too (when its not in a tunnel!) All rather pleasant really and definitely recommended if you spot a 1st class ticket for only a little more than standard.
