Welcome for new Virgin timetable

Responding to Virgin Trains' delivery of the fastest ever journey time between Glasgow and London, Paul Tetlaw, Chair of Transform Scotland, said:

"This is excellent news for travellers between Glasgow and London. Most people are now much more aware of climate change and many are trying to cut their carbon footprint by reducing the number of flights they take.

"Whether people are travelling for leisure or on business a journey time of just 4 hours 10 minutes from the central London to the centre of Glasgow makes the train a great alternative to the plane."
