Virgin Trains employs Elves to launch Bag Magic

With Christmas just over a month away, Virgin Trains is looking to spread the festive joy with the launch of a Christmas present wrapping pop-up at Euston station. For a limited time, a team of Father Christmas’s little helpers will be on hand at Euston station to wrap presents.

The service is to promote the arrival of Bag Magic, a luggage delivery facility, which lets travellers send their gifts and luggage overnight by courier to make the journey hands-free and hassle-free. The Bag Magic team, supported by the team from P4D (Parcels 4 Delivery) will collect bags, cases, presents, and even bicycles from home, an office or a hotel and deliver them next day or on a pre-booked date in the future to an address of choice. Even better, Bag Magic is for life, not just for Christmas.

As an introductory offer, the first 2,000 customers can send a bag one way for just £5 weekdays. To claim this offer, customers should quote ‘MAGIC’ when making a booking.

Regular prices start from just £9.99 one-way, making Bag Magic the best value luggage service around. The Bag Magic team will collect bags from any address and deliver to the intended destination next day or a pre- booked date in the future. At weekends these can be sent using one of the drop-off options for weekday delivery for only £8 one-way and £6 for any additional bag by visiting http://www.virgintrains.co.uk/bagmagic/.

Steve Tennant, Customer Experience Director at Virgin Trains said:

“We’re always looking for ways to make our customers’ journeys more relaxing, especially the final train home before Christmas when you’re carrying those mountains of presents for loved ones. Bag Magic means you can send your luggage ahead to make your journey as simple and enjoyable as a sleigh ride.

“Christmas is a time when people’s bags are bigger than ever, and we know that whilst some people have the gift of neat wrapping others aren’t quite so deft. The Virgin Trains elves will have your presents looking perfect and now with Bag Magic you can send everything ahead whilst you sit back and relax, dreaming of a white Christmas.”

Sid Hart, Head of Commercial Development at P4D said:

“P4D are delighted to be supporting Virgin Trains Bag Magic. We have a dedicated team of customer service agents ready to help passengers travel as stress-free as possible. P4D are experts in the courier industry so we're able to make sure that every Bag Magic customer receives the service and choice that suits them. "

The Christmas wrapping service will run on Saturday 22 and Sunday 23 November between 12pm and 4pm. Virgin Trains customers can visit the pop-up in the First Class Lounge of Euston station to have their presents professionally wrapped and ready for Christmas. They will then be whisked away by the Bag Magic team to be delivered anywhere in the country on Tuesday 25^th November.
