not me, that's for sure.
Like it matters a fuck who's running it. They use the same stock, paint it a different colour, and put the price up as much as they can without getting stopped, and then lose the frachise anyway because they are fucktards.
It does, I grant you, seem odd that Virgin - one of the few to actually make a success of a long-distance franchise - are being kicked out though.

It's a fucking shambles
Their chief executive was on teh radio saying that the West COast mainline had the most spare capacity of any train line in the country and it was therefore perfectly possible to deliver 10% year on year growth until 2026. At which point the line will be totally saturated with no excess capacity.
THe fucking retarded thing is that it's such an obvious lie to say there is spare capacity since you're talking about the bits in the middle of teh day when nobody wants to catch a fucking train.
That isn't spare capacity, it's just useless capacity.
