Not sure what Dantheman and Brixtonblue will think.
"Virgin Trains had said the decision came after "feedback from our people". But Sir Richard said he was unaware of the move and the operator must never be seen to be "censoring" customers." [Post edited 15 Jan 2018 14:56]

So basically market pressure made him reconsider the move.
Wow, it's almost exactly like what I said in the original thread.
And still not censorship. |  |

To quote SIR Richard Branson;
"Freedom of speech, freedom of choice and tolerance for differing views are the core principles of any free and open society — so we have decided to reconsider our people’s decision over @VirginTrains stocking the Daily Mail https://virg.in/J5a "
Agree to disagree eh. ;-) | |

It rings about as the now as it did when they were withdrawing it from sale dues to poor sales. |  |

Tried to make sense of that, but couldn't.
Poor sales was never cited as a reason for not selling it. | |

Key phrase:
"For the record, Virgin used to sell only 70 Daily Mails a day. They informed us last November that to save space, they were restricting sales to just three newspapers: the Mirror, FT and Times.'
I have no idea why they wanted to dress it up as they did in PR-speak, but there you go. | |

Did you manage to find a quote from Virgin citing commercial reasons?
No? OK.
Key phrase quoted directly from Virgin (Sir Richard Branson no less);
"The decision was made in response to feedback from some of our Virgin Trains employees."

I fully appreciate that the DM was not commercial attractive for Virgin. But they never cited that as a reason to stop stocking it.
I am pleased to see SRB agreeing with my posts of last week. | |
