No. Virgin have an extension until 9 December 2012.

This should answer some questions:

The revised date for the franchise award is 13th August 2012, following the decision to extend the existing franchise
by 8 months that AlterEgo just mentioned.

Your date was about right for the superseded process...

Ahh ok thanks. But my question still stands. What company would you like to take over from Virgin when their time is up?

Please not this again!
