Well at least Richard Branson doesn't run First Capital Connect
Richard Branson's Virgin Rail - has increased fares some 210% since wining the "franchise". *Note I don't use "Sir" - I'm from New Zealand - so I don't subscribe to the class system. From what I can see - mostly - knighting is for - rich and sometimes ruthless people.
Currently it is cheaper to fly around Europe than get a train to Manchester. The really rude - thing - is that even though you drop 150 quid for the ticket - you have to pay extra for internet on the train - lousy.
In reality - I guess Virgin Rail is a separate entity - paying a % of profits into RB's corporate headquarters.
I'm not sure the figures for First Capital Connect - though First Great Western is first equal with Branson.
