 Until 28th February 2015, East Coast Main Line Company Limited was a wholly owned subsidiary company of Directly Operated Railways Limited ("DOR"), which is wholly owned by the Department for Transport and was fully subject to the Freedom of Information Act.

Following the transfer to a private operator, we believe it is still subject to the Environmental Information Regulations in line with the recent judgement by the Upper Tribunal in "Fish Legal versus ICO" (GIA/0980/2011).

On the 2nd of March 2015 the company asked us to note: "For the avoidance of doubt, Virgin Trains East Coast is not subject to the Freedom of Information Act".
