He actually has two train operating companies - Railtrack owns the track and
infrastructure, and maintains it (sort of).  There's Virgin Cross Country
and Virgin West Coast.  The new performance figures for the year ended March
1999 are just out on the BBC website  - Richard's results were significantly
worse than the previous year,  with increased delays and cancellations.
