Guns go silent on WCML. Armistice to be signed?

This from Virgin Trains...

More frequent departures and even faster journeys are on the Virgin Trains agenda as demand for rail travel grows and air goes into decline.

Virgin Trains is going all out for the Glasgow market, having grounded the airlines between Liverpool and London and become the travel mode of choice for Manchester-London.

And on, and on, it continues. With not one mention of the infrastructure controller.

Nice.

UPDATE: Up to a point Lord Copper...
