I'm thinking of stuffing a load of cushions up my jumper myself.

Will then also huff and puff a lot.

I have a first class ticket back to Cov on the 18.23 if you're interested.

Wouldn't your big Grouchy tash be a bit of a giveaway?

Nope. Could just as easily be any female member of my family.

Youd like to think someone will give up their seat for her!

As I say, he can have my ticket if he is coming back to Cov.

Wouldn't want to see his missus without a seat.

Anybody familiar with Virgin Trains from the North to Euston? I’m on the 8.15am from Rugby on Monday but I can’t bloody figure out if it stops at Cov before, I don’t think it does.

Any ideas?

Trains usually go Coventry - Rugby - London, so not Rugby first.

Another route doesn’t go through Cov first though, think goes Lichfield, Tamworth etc?

Ah, it probably goes through Treacle and then across to Rugby.

Am I the only one getting a train direct from Birmingham New Street to Euston? No bus replacement, just diverted past Coventry and Rugby on a different line.

Yeah, says plan ahead.

That's why someone can have my 07.21 ticket.

Miss all the commotion.

Thanks all, really hope someone will do the right thing otherwise will upgrade her to first on the day. Thanks for the offer Otis but think we are looking to head back later in the evening either 7 or 8. I did hear that they ended up changing first to standard last year though? Can't remember who from

Okay. If you change your mind you are welcome to have it.

Two on the same train, but one is first class.

I think in future, when train tickets are involved, you should set up a poll and we can vote for which tickets you should buy, I don't think many will vote for the option of buying 2 tickets on the same train, but only 1 of them first class.

One was for the missus though. She wasn't going to Wembley, just to London.
