So purveyors of popcorn are in for a bumper month of sales!
Last Friday saw a pre-hearing for Virgin's application for a Judicial Review into the process behind the InterCity West Coast franchise award.
M'learned friends are expected to square up in court on the 17th or 18th of this month, with legal debates expected to last a number of days.
Hopefully all interested parties will remember that this Thursday is the cut off point for submitting evidence...
UPDATE: This from Steve Strong...
As no doubt the wheels of Justice will take many months to turn, DOR must now be a shoe-in for running InterCity West Coast from the 9th December.
Unless of course the newly emboldened ORR objects...
