Virgin First Class Lounges   
Can one use these if one has a VV14 1st class ticket?

What is the lounge at Euston like and what freebies does one get?

I don't see why not.  First class lounge at Euston is closed and no
idea what's available in the 'temporary' lounge.

Service isn't very good at weekends - free tea/coffee/water plus
biscuit (or snack box on XC services) andyou have to get it yourself
from the shop.

Thanks. I ask as GNER do not allow advance ticket holders to use their
first class lounges.

I'm travelling weekday after 7pm. Seems I should get a hot snack plus
drinks etc. at my seat on the train (lucky me!)

I've used one on a VV 1st some time ago, but I'm not sure if it's
changed so check...
