Apologies if this is a bit off topic but I noticed this story on the Grauniad and it could be relevant to anyone who has applied for the Avanti trainee train driver positions:
FirstGroup could cease trading as coronavirus hits passenger levels

Rail and bus operator warns its future is in doubt after reporting loss of almost £300mwww.theguardian.com
While the ICWC franchise would continue, possibly in the hands of the OOLR, this disruption to the underlying business might interrupt the recruitment process.
Wouldn’t worry about that, there were people who were going through recruitment processes with Virgin who ended up employed by Avanti!
The infrastructure, employees and trains will remain no matter who runs the franchise!
