Trainline, Virgin Atlantic and Red Driving School investigated over hidden ticket fees

The UK's competition watchdog has launched investigations into Trainline, Virgin Atlantic, and Red Driving School due to concerns that these companies displayed misleadingly low prices to their customers. This practice, known as "drip pricing", involves hiding mandatory fees to make a product appear cheaper than it actually is. The investigation is part of a broader effort to clamp down on this illegal practice, which can confuse and deceive consumers.
