Completely the wrong decision. As previously stated first are a set of numpties.

My family and I have used Virgin quite frequently and been very pleased with their service.

Hopefully first will fall flat on their faces. Then Virgin can come back.
I doubt very much Virgin will be back Richard Branson was on the news last night, saying he doubted he would bid for a franchise again such was his anger at the bidding process.

It seems a shame when you have a company committed to excellence the government throws the baby out with the bathwater,National Express could not deliver a while back and the government got lumbered,and the first group have to have a year on year 10% increase in passenger numbers to make it pay.

Serves the government right if it all goes pear shape and gets thrown back in their face.
