Virginia Train Seat Saga

[SIRandyraven]

While Corbyn decides to focus on a p8blic argument with Virgin trains, while what's left of the Labour party implodes.
Why didn't he have the common sense to reserve a seat ?
I have never used Virgin trains , but will be in September to travel to Stoke on Trent to pick up a car. Guess what ? I reserved a seat.

Then again maybe old scruffy preferred to sit on a pee stained train carpet.
Hope his cloths did not dirty the carpet

Apparently he did reserve a seat

Well done Richard Branson for exposing this sleight of hand - disgraceful from Corbyn - not a very intelligent act but then he is not a man of great intellectual capability.

Not Virginia but Virgin.

Senior MPs are entitled to first class travel.
You never saw Kinnock in standard class.

it is getting increasingly difficult to travel on virgin services - east or west coast - without reserving a seat. when the pendolinos were extended to 11 cars there were 2 fully unreserved coaches (F and U, how apropriate....). But these are slowly being nibbled into and it won't be long before you won't be able to travel spontaneously, unless you're prepared to stand for up to four hours.

The fact that Virgin Trains could have sold Corbyn a very expensive first class ticket, and that Corbyn could have claimed the money back from expenses (the tax payer) is kind of missing the point.

Corbyn wants to close Branson down because he says he offers a bad service that he says is overpriced. Branson is fighting back.

And so Branson should....

Corbyn's a kn0b, his train video was so staged and now it's embarrassingly bitten him on the @r5e

If he's ever voted into power it's time to emigrate
