Has anyone used the new services yet?

Are they filling the trains? - Particularly in the peak in FC?

I am off to Birmingham next week in the morning peak so I will see.

I know it is early days and there have been problems but I can't help but wonder whether the 3 trains an hour to Manchester and Birmingham will survive in the economic crisis... I wish them well though. I am not really a Virgin fan but the Euston service deserves to prosper...

It will be interesting to see how all the various FC services on the privatised railway survive or change in the coming years.

I know they cut the Restaurants from the Norwich trains already...

Anybody have any recent experiences?
