lmsforever Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 If Virgin lose this franchise it will be an own goal by DAFT First can only make there bid work if services are cut or on board services cut so as to make the money stretch.The current franchisie is doing a wonderful job and the staff should be proud of the way they work ,lets hope sence prevails.

RMweb Gold JohnR Posted August 13, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 13, 2012 And its not even new or unexpected speculation - this rumour has been going round since may at least. latest Rumour - Beardy to throw a wobbly and launch a court bid to stop the award to First.

APOLLO Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I'm not a Virgin fan - BUT the sleek red & silver Pendolino's have allways looked superb flashing (sometimes screeching) past our house just north of Wigan on the WCML. Somehow this livery just cant be bettered. Hope they don't change it. (but they will). Ah well, it's all politics these days. Sad ain't it.

Cheers Jim Absolutely , let's wait until tomorrow so this doesn't degenerate to rumour to the power of 10 (r10 in shorthand) as it has done on other contempary (in a broad sense) forums.
