Commenting on the proposed investment, announced to the Stock Exchange
this morning, John O' Brien, the Franchising Director, said:-
"The statement released by Stagecoach and Virgin indicates that the
proposed change in shareholding, with Stagecoach taking a 49% interest in
Virgin Rail, requires my approval.
" I will therefore be having talks with both parties to understand the
implications of the proposed deal.
" Above all, I shall need to be convinced that the proposed deal is in the best
interests of passengers in deciding whether or not to give my approval" .
