Route Improvement Work Cancelled This Weekend on London Euston to Scotland Route

LONDON, May 26, 2011 -

- Through Trains Will now Operate Between London Euston and Scotland on
May 28 and 29

Anglo-Scottish travellers considering their travel options
in the event of potential air travel problems will benefit from the operation
of through trains between London Euston and Scotland this weekend.

Virgin Trains aims to run a basic hourly service this weekend (Saturday
28 and Sunday 29 May) following the lifting of route improvement restrictions
on Anglo-Scottish routes by Network Rail.

This announcement follows additional seats being provided on
London/Birmingham to Scotland routes this week following airport closures as
a result of the Ash Cloud.

Details of the exact timetable will be available in online timetable
planning systems and also on the Virgin Trains website at
www.virgintrains.com during tomorrow (Friday 27 May).

Route improvement work will still take place as planned in the Liverpool
and West Midlands areas. Check online for full details at
