Virgin West Coast Mainline services have launched a new campaign for pregnant women that will guarantee them a seat when they carry a qualifying mum-to-be pass.

The new pass will entitle pregnant women a seat in standard class, or first class if one is not available elsewhere.

Virgin Trains has also launched a Cravings Collection of snacks on their trains aimed at mums-to-be, featuring the following snacks:

  • Anchovies

  • Charcoal biscuits

  • Chilli sauce

  • Chocolate sauce

  • Chorizo jam

  • Curry sauce

  • Ginger biscuits

  • Ginger tisane

  • Ice

  • Marmite

  • Strawberry jam

The Cravings Collection will be available on selected services between Manchester and Euston.

To get your mum-to-be train pass, visit your station Ticket Office:

  • Fill out a mums to be form at one of our ticket offices, bring along your Mat B1 form and a passport photo to get the pass.

  • You will be issued with a Mum to be pass and a National Rail ID card.
