Richard Branson has said he is 'devastated' that Virgin Trains' reign over the West Coast Main Line train route is coming to an end after 22 years.
The Department for Transport has awarded Aberdeen-based First Group and Trenitalia UK, an arm of Italy's main train operator, the contract to run the London-to-Glasgow rail line from 8 December.

Qinetiq (/kɪˈnɛtɪk/ as in kinetic; styled as QinetiQ) is a British multinational defence technology company headquartered in Farnborough, Hampshire. It is the world's 52nd-largest defence contractor measured by 2011 defence revenues, and the sixth-largest based in the UK.
As a private entity, Qinetiq was created in April 2001; prior to this, it had been part of Defence Evaluation and Research Agency (DERA), a now-defunct British government organisation. While a large portion of DERA's assets, sites, and employees were transferred to Qinetiq, other elements were incorporated into Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (DSTL), which remains in government ownership. Former DERA locations, including Farnborough, Hampshire, MoD Boscombe Down, Wiltshire, and Malvern, Worcestershire, have thus become key sites for Qinetiq.
