View Full Version : Travelling on Virgin Trains?
They're changing Coach G on their Pendolinos to Standard Class, so basically, If you have a standard class ticket, you can sit in Coach G which has first class seats !
July 14th - September 6th.

Some Pendolino's do have Power-Sockets in standard class on the 2+2 seating, not at every seat though.
When Pendos were ordered, they were created as 8Car trains, with the 9th car being added in at a later date... I think it's 9th car with the power-sockets in.
