Trainline, Virgin Atlantic and RED Driving School investigated over drip pricing

The UK consumer watchdog has opened investigations into Trainline, Virgin Atlantic and RED Driving School over suspected drip pricing — the practice of not showing customers the full price upfront. Regulators want to determine whether the companies add hidden fees at later stages of the checkout process. The practice is considered misleading because it obscures the true cost of a product or service.
