Hmm. For my own stance, I actually don't feel any differently about the bakery situation.

I can't remember the exact specifics but my stance on it is, if they refused to sell someone a generic or advertised cake because that person is gay (or any other arbitrary reason) then they are breaking the law.

However, if they were simply refusing to make a CUSTOM cake then - while I personally think they are backwards and bigoted for doing so - yes I would still say that it is 100% their business if they want to say "No, we don't sell that / can't do that".

Saying "We don't sell that" is COMPLETELY different to saying "I will not sell something that we do sell to YOU, because of something about you."

Now again I will say that it would be perfectly just if everyone else decided not to shop at the bakery again and they went bust because of their decision... But that's their business decision to make.

Same goes for the trains. If Virgin loses money because of not selling the Daily Mail then that's the risk they decided to take. It's not censorship, or fascism, or anything of the sort and if DM readers believe that things like public transport providers should be forced to be politically neutral... Then they should probably stop supporting the party (the Tories) that sold them off to private entities in the first place, and continue to try to sell off everything else.
