Again National Express have done it again! With the former First Great Eastern line, they have had to offload it to Govia because of problems.
One thing, I must say that Virgin Trains run by Virgin Group and Stagecoach has to be the most improved out all privatised franchises. For some reason the government removed the Cross Country franchise from Virgin Trains to Arriva, who really messed up the railways up north in the early 00's, just wondering if that was a good idea! I also heard that Virgin may also lose the West coast line, if they let any of those other companies, you are not going to see any improvement to service I will tell you that!
