VIRGIN'S Pendolino trains will run full tilt' at up to 125mph throughout the West Coast main line from next Monday, making journey times between London and Glasgow 15 minutes quicker than before.
A time of four hours, 24 minutes is being anticipated following clearance of the route for faster running north of Crewe during weekdays.
Virgin West Coast managing director Charles Belcher said: "The new journey times are even better and I am sure this will be very welcome in Lancashire, Cumbria and Scotland."
