Rejected petition Virgin Trains must keep the West Coast mainline franchise

More details

We the undersigned, want Virgin Trains to continue operating the West Coast mainline service, NOT FirstGroup.

The fare-paying public were not consulted properly (or at all). We ask the Government to review its decision again as Virgin's future absence will be a severe blow to public transport in this country.
