Cue a lot of predictable huffing a puffing from unreconstructed leftie trade unions who wanted East Coast to remain State-operated.

I'm really glad Stagecoach/Virgin have got this. They have made a grand job of the WCML and I predict, over the next few years, they will comfortably improve on the performance of DOR on the East Coast. Then we can (hopefully) put to bed the ridiculous idea that bringing back British Rail is a big or clever thing to do.
