        Cheers harry. My ‘son’ will now be traversing Edinburgh on the 10.51 next week…

  Just buy any ticket that’s over £1 such as Edinburgh Waverley – Haymarket. Just remember if you book on the Virgin Trains East Coast website you must choose one of their services and on Virgin Trains you must book a west coast train.

    Damn, I think I was on the wrong site!

  For those taking part in the Virgin Red treasure hunt, that could also be a very cheap way to get some of the Virgin Trains gold coins! (Rumor is that there are 10 different coins on west coast, 5 on east)

  • Boi says:

    Any chance we could share the coins? Most of the time I manage to solve the clues but for the life of me can’t get the coins!

      Buffet staff have them, and I’m told some of the first class on-train and lounge staff have them too. Generally you need to ask though!

  Can I book multiple tickets?

  If you have no intention of making the journey, then buying a ticket with a railcard discount makes it even cheaper. Also good for resetting the expiry clock on VS miles.

  I didn’t think this applied to me because it said ‘all first-time bookings can enjoy 500 extra miles before 31 July 2016.’ I assumed ‘first time booking’ meant your first purchase with Virgin Trains. I have booked with them many times already.

  I also assumed that you can book any ticket on a VT WC/EC route, which would include the cheap ones for a couple of quid?

  • Bob says:

    Yes I thought the same – ‘first time booking’ seems pretty clear

    • Genghis says:

      7 Jul7 July 20:25

      Reading the Ts and Cs in a bit more detail it appears that this means the first booking you make in the period (i.e. only one bonus available)

      • Rob says:

        7 Jul7 July 20:50

        Yes, that is how I read it.

  • Andrew says:

    First booking within the period. Might be worth buying one on each of the East & West Coast routes just in case…

    One thing to be very careful of though is that the journey must wholly and exclusively be on a Virgin Service. I almost booked a +Scotrail Connections ticket before I double checked. Have now split the ticket at Glasgow.

    It’s a bit naughty though as the email (that I received) invites users to “Jump onboard for a Highland break that Virgin Trains and Virgin Trains East Coast will make sure gets you on the right track.” and no ticket that would meet the terms of the promotion would take you via the West Coast and onward to the Highlands without changing train company.

  You can get cheaper tickets, eg the 10.59 on Sunday – Sandwell & Dudley —> Wolverhampton is £3.30

  Beat that! – remember it has to be Virgin Trains

  • harry says:

    7 Jul7 July 19:30

    £3.20 Sandwell & Dudley —> B’ham New St

    • harry says:

      Sorry so busy having fun looking at tickets I didn’t see Edinburgh —> Haymarket lol

  • Fenny says:

    Rugby > Coventry, child, one way, £2.30. What happens if my cherub doesn’t remember to pick up his ticket after I drop him at the station on my way to work?

    • Genghis says:

      Not too sure but you can collect any national rail ticket from any national rail ticket machine with fast ticket. I’ll collect my son’s Edinburgh ticket from Cannon St today
