Rejected petition Virgin Trains West Coast Franchise

More details

Nothing good can come from the First Group taking control of the west coast mainline from December. As a daily passenger on the west coast I have received the best train service I have experienced in the UK.

The First Group have over bid this franchise and this can only mean deterioration in service and increase in cost.

Join the petition to return the franchise to Virgin.
