Britain’s newest rail franchise began not with a train, but with a bus. Weekend engineering works meant the first Virgin Trains East Coast departure - the 7.45am from Leeds - was a bus replacement service to York. Here, passengers transferred to the first actual train of the new franchise operator. It arrived at London King’s Cross, the terminus for Sir Richard Branson’s latest venture, 26 minutes early - a reflection of the “padding” added to Sunday schedules.
