The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) is investigating Trainline, Virgin Atlantic, and RED Driving School for potentially misleading pricing practices known as 'drip pricing.' This involves not displaying mandatory fees in the initial price shown to customers, which could lead to unexpected costs during the booking process.
If the CMA finds these companies in violation of consumer laws, they could face fines or be required to compensate affected customers. Both Trainline and Virgin Atlantic have expressed their commitment to transparency and are cooperating with the investigation.
