Virgin Trains is lobbying the government for extra subsidies to cope with growth in passenger numbers (link below.) http://www.rmtbristol.org.uk/2006/10/virgin_wants_subsidy_boost_for.html#moreVirgin is in discussions with the Department for Transport over renegotiating its West Coast franchise , which operates out of London's Euston station to Birmingham , Manchester and Glasgow. However , it is understood that talks have reached a hitch over the capacity of Virgin's trademark Pendolino trains , which are part-subsidised by the government. Apparently , the DfT is questioning whether investment in more carriages is necessary. |
