Virgin Trains has tried to derail rivals FirstGroup by sending an 11th-hour application to the High Court asking for a judicial review into the decision to award them the contract instead of Virgin.
But Daniel Kawczynski, Shrewsbury & Atcham MP, has today written an open letter to Sir Richard Branson urging him to drop it.
He added: "The Government cannot be handing out contracts on the back of what is a publicity campaign. Virgin and its bosses should move on and stop being highly selfish.
