Not content with a top ten hit in Tuesday’s mini pilgrimage, Virgin ticketing staff at Preston station will join colleagues from another four stations tomorrow and go on strike.
Preston clearly has the #1 spot in mind and the other four stations are presumably keen to take a slice of the (as yet un-funded) £50m pie.
At this rate Virgin will end up with nine of the top ten worst stations, a remarkable achievement, well worthy of the £45m investment prize.
And not before time, given the chronic under investment on WCML infrastructure over the last few years. (shome mishtake shurley. Ed)
UPDATE: This from BBCbusiness via Twitter...
A planned strike by Virgin Trains booking office staff at five mainline stations on Friday is called off after a legal challenge by the company.
