Virgin Trains will be handing out 2,000 gifts to passengers at two of Britain's largest train stations in a bid to spread Christmas cheer.
A replica of the iconic Azuma train, which is made up of 1,000 presents, will be unveiled at King's Cross station on Tuesday (Dec 13th) and the Pendolino train at Birmingham New Street on Thursday (Dec 15).
Noticeable that Virgin only consider Christmas cheer is deserved by London and Birmingham and Northeners, Welsh, N Irish and Scots do not deserve a treat - really good customer relationship building and company branding - possibly a real loss leader.

Well they certainly beat Southern Rail who seemingly thought the 12 days of Christmas referred to the number of strikes they would have to screw over their passengers even more.

They aren't going to do anything for Northern Ireland as they do not operate any services there. Trains in Northern Ireland are nationalised.
