On the subject of Virgin Trains...

Flybe are the only operators from Birmingham and Manchester to Glasgow and Edinburgh.

Virgin Trains also seem to be the major (and sometimes sole) operator of trains on these routes.

Is this likely to be a monopoly concern around any takeover or does the fact the Virgin Group will have a minority stake in both enterprises shield them?

At the moment, there seems to be a restriction on access to tracks for competitors to Virgin Trains on many routes.
