Looks as though First Group will also miss out on the ECML, the frontrunner appears to be a joint bid from Eurostar & Keolis

Intercity Railways has won the East Coast franchise. ICR is a joint venture between Stagecoach and Virgin. The franchise will run under the name of Virgin East Coast.
Midland Red West, one of the best Companies to serve Redditch, with some of the best buses.
