Is this a response to them losing the West Coast main line rail franchise?

From my reading of the press it appears Virgin will be wet leasing the aircraft and the intended service has more to do with connections at LHR than competition on the WCML...But the timing is intriguing and the prospects of flying to London cheaper than travel by rail from Manchester speaks volumes of our current domestic travel system.
