This is the reason the EC decided to leave MAN slots out of the slot bidding process in the BA/BD deal.

Who or what is fgw? Is that a train service or did you type LGW wrong? If you meant LGW then no but again Virgin are more than able to launch such flights if they wish.
FGW is first Great Western, a major contributing factor to CS occasionally mooting a NQY to LON service by BA

Only occasionally
I'm clearly failing, must start a new thread about it soon

But you are spot on, fgw = first great western, the biggest joke of a train company going
