The Cross Country trains are InterCity trains, just not as prestigious, or as high speed (and not electrically powered). Correcting what I said before, according to Wiki, the Cross Country services are now operated by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Rail_Class_170 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Rail_Class_170 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Rail_Class_220 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Rail_Class_220 The story in question seems to be this one: https://metro.co.uk/2013/10/06/virgin-trains-to-spend-3-5m-removing-toilet-smell-from-train-corridors-4135746/ https://metro.co.uk/2013/10/06/virgin-trains-to-spend-3-5m-r... So it's Class 220s (the Cross Country trains) and Pendolinos that had the problem. All were being operated by Virgin, the Pendolinos on the West Coast main line.
