All aboard the Virgin Trains Chat Carriage

On 14 June, Virgin Trains customers were invited to strike up a conversation with a fellow traveller in our new ‘Chat Carriage’. Coach C on a number of Virgin Trains Pendolino services were converted into the ‘Chat Carriage’ to support the BBC’s Crossing Divides on the Move Day, an initiative designed to get people to better engage with each other, especially when travelling on public transport.

 

To help facilitate those conversations customers buying a hot drink on a select number of Virgin Trains services were given a second drink free of charge and encouraged to share it with a someone sitting close by as a means of sparking up a conversation, be it about the weather, their destination or where they have travelled from or what they are up to at the weekend.
