My first share, so be nice! I have the Virgin Red app and I noticed when you've verified your account with Virgin Trains - you will be given a Wi-Fi password to use onboard! Just simply download the app from the App Store or Play Store, sign up & verify your account with Virgin Trains.
The Wi-Fi code lasts 24 hours and it probably can't be shared. This offer expires on September 4th - so use it anytime onboard before then! Hopefully it'll make your journeys a little more enjoyable...

Have you actually read the story?
There weren't seats when he got on. The seats that looked free were either reserved or had bags on them. That's been verified by fellow passengers.
Either you read a site that didn't carry that part and just repeated what Virgin trains told you (they're trying to not make themselves look bad - that's strange, isn't it?) or you didn't read the story properly and are just repeating a headline.
Either way, don't ever wonder why it keeps feeling like the more-polished politicians keep pulling the wool over your eyes and you can't quite figure out why.

Corbyn is a grade A tool! Book further in advance and get a pre booked seat - turn up on the day buy a ticket and complain there are no seats (when there actually are). Suppose I shouldn't be surprised at him lying - he is a politician after all!

To be fair your interpretation of the story isn't exactly what the story says either, so the question could equally be thrown back at you. I would say that expecting two free seats next to each other when you haven't reserved them is a bit much wouldn't you? Fine if you then want to sit in the corridor, but he also used it to make political capital. Virgin of course wants to look good in this situation, but let's not pretend Corbyn didn't try to make the most out of it also.
Also: virgin beam - it's amazing, free films and tv in standard class :smiley:

I don't like all of his policy stances, but Jeremy Corbyn is one of the most honest politicians in parliament who has stuck to his beliefs for decades in the face of arrest, going against popular opinion or both.

This is supposed to be about good deals, and this was a good spot by the OP, but that does not detract from the fact that Mr. Corbyn has been caught out trying to pull a silly political stunt and now looks very foolish indeed. He is certainly not the sort of person to lead our nation (so let's hope he wins the Labour party leadership party so the country can have proper Tory leadership for at least the next decade and so prosper).

Honest? Hmmm, like saying he wants a kinder politics and he completely disowns any bullying, whilst all the personal details of anyone who disagrees with him are released to the Momentum brownshirts to do the violence and intimidation for him. Just like the mafia bosses are always seen at the opera whilst bodies of their enemies mount up in the back streets. Corbyn's team admitted that he *chose* to sit on the floor rather than sit on one of the many vacant seats. The only dispute is why: a) to make a political point or b) because he wanted to sit next to his wife.

Tap the face icon/yourname @ top left... then MY VIRGIN button... then look through the icons for their dozen or so brands/franchises and tap ones you have some relationship with to seek to "connect/verify" [and nope no idea what the distinction between them is.
Once connected/verified the App should show some extra offers/deals related to those connections/verifications, and you'll also get more points awarded each month - which you can use to enter the "Vault" draws/comps/deals.

Even if it's free I wouldn't bother. It's been appalling when I have paid for it, completely unusable.
