About our trains

Any train company can get you from A to B. But where’s the fun in that? We’re here to get you there in style. Our Pendolino and Super Voyager trains make your journeys faster, easier and awesome-r in every way. We’re talking 125mph top speeds, ‘tilting’ mechanisms to whizz even faster around corners, and cooler paint jobs than anything else on two rails. It beats getting stuck in a traffic jam, or enduring the airport. And you’ll arrive with a little extra cash in your wallet, too.

Want to choose your own seat?

You can now pick your seat on all Virgin Trains journeys, only when booking your ticket at virgintrains.com. If that wasn’t reason enough to book with us, unlike our competitors we do not charge booking fees.

As Confucius probably said, "Plan ahead, enjoy journey". That's especially true if you've got a disability or you're carrying something bulky. Like a tuba. To help you plan, this page is where you can see the layout of our trains and carriages. It'll show where your bikes and luggage go. Not to mention where you can get a cuppa. Plus, it's handy to know where the nearest loos and power points are. We run two kinds of train, Pendolino and Super Voyager.
