UK regulators open three drip-pricing investigations
The Competition and Markets Authority opened investigations into Trainline, Virgin Atlantic, and RED Driving School over the presentation of mandatory fees. The cases are investigations rather than findings of infringement, but they sit within the UK's wider enforcement focus on transparent consumer pricing.
