Rightfully so, though. Virgin have already had one (legal) extension, giving them a second extension, without putting it out for tender is, at best sharp practice, at worst, downright illegal. You can't go round willy nilly giving extensions to contracts to anyone you fancy just because it suits you at the time. The main problem being Virgin could pick a random number of £millions and the DfT has absolutely no choice but to accept, because if DfT refuse to pay their asking price, the trains simply won't run until DOR find a board of directors. |
