Our role in transforming rail journeys on the West and East Coasts has been recognised at the annual Scottish Transport Awards in Glasgow.

We were named Public Transport Operator of the Year, cementing our reputation as the UK’s leading long distance rail provider. The award reflected the work we have undertaken, including the introduction of our free on-board entertainment service.

Matt Litton, a Virgin Trains employee, was also commended in the Frontline Employee of the Year category, for intervening to stop the racist abuse of a passenger on board one of our services.
