Virgin Trains are the awesome!

I requested a seat with power when I booked it, which means they've given me the laptop chair

It has its own little desk (not a crappy fold down one from the chair in front), plug socket and wifi!

How cool is that!!!?!!

That's so you have something to do while sitting in a field waiting for the train to stop being late/broken/etc.

And what did it cost?

Trains are rediculous for the most part IMO. I had to get from Newcastle to Dorset. £168 on the train with 3 changes with a total trip time of 7hrs+ or I could pay £62 to fly with flybe which took 1hr 10mins....

Same, I flew back from Liverpool to Southampton and it cost around £25 with one of the budget airlines. Took 30 minutes.
