SIR Richard Branson has been invited to put his case for retaining Virgin Trains' West Coast Main Line franchise to MPs.
At a hearing next Monday, the House of Commons Transport Committee will also take evidence from Tim O'Toole, chief executive of transport firm FirstGroup.
Sir Richard has launched a legal challenge to the decision to award a new West Coast franchise to FirstGroup, thus ending Virgin's 15-year running of the London to Scotland line.
