Virgin Voyager (class 220) DEMU at Cheltenham Spa, UK
Now the mainstay for cross-country services, The class 220 and 221 DEMUs are under-specified for the services they run. Apparently Virgin did not anticipate either the general increase in rail passenger numbers which has been experienced on cross-country services since they specified the trains in the late nineties, nor the massive increase in medium-length travel provoked by their own introduction of frequent half-hourly intercity services on the core Bristol/Reading-Birmingham-Manchester/York routes. Previously these routes had been served by infrequent regional services, frequent, but very slow stopping trains, and infrequent cross-country services. With Virgin trains all-but ceasing cross-country services to nearby Gloucester for the Winter 2003/4 timetable, Cheltenham Spa will become an even more important interchange station between cross-country trains and local services to Gloucester and the surrounding towns. To help alleviate this, Cheltenham Spa will re-gain its half-hourly stopping pattern on Virgin trains with the new timetable. Photo by Timothy Vince (le_random@yahoo.co.uk) |

Well its not the same as the class 47 it replaced, but at least the Virgin Voyager has a stylish livery that is
seen here on its journey at Cholsey on the 20th August 2003. These DMUs are either class 220 or 221 for the tilting version.

HISTORY. Well its fortunate I took this picture at Acton Mainline in September 2007 as Virgin Cross Country
services are to be taken over by Arriva so their distinctive livery on this Voyager will soon disappear.

Love them or hate them they are here to stay. This was one of our first sightings of a class 220 Voyager
at Crewe in the Summer of 2001. Gone now are Virgin X Country loco hauled trains and their HSTs...as of the
Autumn of 2003 its all Voyagers.
