Renationalisation on the cards for West Coast line

TRAIN services between Glasgow and London could be temporarily re-nationalised following a legal challenge to the Government's £10 billion franchise deal on the route.

Passenger services on the West Coast Main Line were due to be taken over by Aberdeen-based First Group but this has been delayed by Virgin Trains, the current operator, which has sought a judicial review of the process.
