Virgin has 1 out of 7 Intercity franchises, and none of the 18 regional franchises. And its one Intercity franchise is currently in limbo - Virgin lost it, but has appealed the decision. They've gotten a temporary extension on their contract while the franchise selection process is reviewed.
Most of the other operators have multiple franchises, either directly or through subsidiaries - Virgin is a quite small player.
