David Horne, from Virgin Trains East Coast, is one of several bosses giving evidence about the way the rail network is organised.

It was reprivatised when Stagecoach and Virgin signed a deal to run the East Coast line from 2015 to 2023, promising to pay the government £3.3bn to run the service.

Stagecoach owns 90% of the joint venture and Virgin owns the remaining 10%.
