The Late Night Virgin Mystery
A kind friend has solved the mystery of the Plymouth-York Virgin Cross Country which is scheduled to leave Leeds at 22.10 then takes 48 minutes to York, arriving at 22.58, after a Trans Pennine which has left Leeds at 22.12. Apparently the Virgin reverses at Leeds and travels to York via Castleford, for crew training purposes, as Castleford is on an official diversionary route. Good to know that.
