Back in Leicester now. Very good party :). I hope other people than me were drinking the vodka as otherwise I think I had far more to drink than I thought I had.

The Virgin Voyager rolling stock is also blocking DAB signals, along with the new Midland Mainline trains that I complained about earlier (that are based on the same). I wonder if this is deliberate, or what?

I didn't dink any vodka, or anything alcoholic. Not knowingly anyways.

Talking of Virgin trains, Is it just me or do they not check tickets anymore.

Actually did they ever? I remember travelling between Carlisle-Edinburgh about once every three weeks 3-4 years ago and I only remember getting my tickets checked on the return journey (and only if was a Scotrail train).

I've definitely had my ticket checked on them historically. This weekend, I got checked on the Birmingham -> Oxford leg, but not the return journey. I didn't get checked on the bus journey to and from Birmingham, either. It annoys me when they don't check tickets.

Ticket checking on any train route can be highly unpredictable. I've ridden Silverlink from Northampton to Euston or vice versa without being checked, and other times I've seen the guard do four passes of the train in that time.

I think that one of the guests in particular was drinking far more of everything than was obvious, given the state he was in by the end of the night... ;)
