    CASE STUDY: VIRGIN TRAINS How Spherica helped Virgin Trains move its data centre infrastructure to Microsoft Azure in record time Virgin Trains is one of the largest train operating companies in the UK and is owned by Virgin Rail Group. It operates long-distance passenger services on the West Coast Main Line between London, West Midlands, North West England, North Wales and Scotland. And, it connects six of the UK’s largest cities - London, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, Glasgow and Edinburgh. With more than 3,500 employees, carrying 34.5 million passengers a year across 23 stations – with its head office located in London Euston and major operations in Birmingham - effective communication and a strong IT infrastructure is key to keep the business running at optimal levels. +44 (0)845 862 1794 | [email protected] | WWW.SPHERICA.CO.UK Case Study: Virgin Trains Data Centre Migration THE CHALLENGE THE SOLUTION In July 2017, Virgin Trains was notified by its data Virgin Trains had two options.

  • Virgin Trains Makes Finding the Cheapest Fare Easier Than Ever with New Industry-Leading Website Submitted By: Morris & Company Tuesday, 20 March 2007
    Virgin Trains makes finding the cheapest fare easier than ever with new industry-leading website Submitted by: Morris & Company Tuesday, 20 March 2007 Virgin Trains is leading the railway industry with its new website designed to make searching and buying the cheapest possible ticket far simpler. The site provides customers with a one-stop-shop from enquiry through to ticket purchase. Already over 60,000 Virgin Trains customers have bought tickets through the new improved website. Searching for, and identifying, the cheapest available tickets for a rail journey has long been a bone of contention for many passengers. However, Virgin Trains has tackled this issue head on by developing and implementing a brand new search engine which simplifies the process and enables passengers to identify and purchase the best rail fare available quickly. While the railways are moving towards simplification of advance purchase fares across the industry, Virgin Trains is leading the way with its new, improved search engine (www.virgintrains.com) which has been developed in conjunction with ticket retailer The Trainline.com. Virgin Trains is also announcing a major campaign to make rail ticket fares more transparent and raise awareness of the value for money of rail travel. The new search engine and simpler, more user-friendly website will present rail passengers with the cheapest advance purchase – or walk-up – fares which are available for their chosen journey. No longer are all fares shown, irrespective of whether they are available or not. In a separate development, passengers who are unable to buy a Virgin Advance ticket for both the outward and return legs of their journey, or unable to specify an exact train for one leg of a return journey, are now able to mix and match ticket types and buy a Saver Half Return (at half the price of a Saver Return) for either the outward or return leg of the journey.

  • Anticipated Acquisition by Flybe Group Limited of the BA Connect Business of British Airways Plc
    Anticipated acquisition by Flybe Group Limited of the BA Connect business of British Airways plc The OFT's decision on reference under section 33(1) given on 7 February 2007. Full text of decision published 15 February 2007. Please note that square brackets indicate figures or text which have been deleted or replaced at the request of the parties for reasons of commercial confidentiality. PARTIES 1. Flybe Group Limited (Flybe) is one of Europe's largest low-cost airlines specialising in serving regional destinations. Its route network encompasses 140 routes from 45 airports spanning nine countries. 2. BA Connect is the regional arm of British Airways plc, and offers low fare scheduled services within the UK regions and between UK regional airports and European points. Flybe is acquiring eleven of BA Connect's aircraft1 and all of the business that is associated with the BA Connect routes, with the exception of Manchester – New York JFK and routes out of London City Airport. TRANSACTION 3. While the final terms of the transaction are yet to be agreed, the OFT understands that Flybe proposes to acquire the assets of BA Connect (with the exception of the routes described above) in exchange for a 15 per cent share in Flybe.2 The OFT's analysis is predicated on the transaction being structured in this way. 1 Four of these aircraft are owned by BA Connect whereas the remainder are subject to an extended lease. 2 The transaction also involves payments by British Airways plc in relation to BA intergroup loans and pension deficits.
