Re: Virgin Trains loses West Coast Mainline franchise

Oh well. If First Group suddenly don't manage to provide their promises, if they start scaling back their ambitions in the next few months, prices don't go down, trains are quite as dependable or the extra £1 billion doesn't arrive then we'll start a new petition demanding Justine Greening's resignation.

Quote:
FirstGroup has promised to cut standard fares by 15%, have more frequent trains and more seats, and introduce better wi-fi and food.

The firm said it would introduce 11 new 125mph six-car electric trains on the Birmingham to Glasgow route and provide more direct services between destinations.
If somehow they can't provide better trains, a more reliable service and cheaper prices all whilst giving an extra £1 billion then we know who to hold to account and they can't claim they weren't warned.
