According to an article in the ‘Telegraph’ Arriva are in crisis talks to renegotiate the franchise due to dwindling passenger numbers. Unfortunately most of the article is behind a paywall, but I guess this should hardly come as a surprise with recent timetable shambles and continuing strikes, The franchise business model must be completely up the spout.
Will the government bail them out or will ultimately be the end of Arriva Northern?
I haven’t used Northern since the new timetable shambles, and few recent Saturday trips i would have made using Northern have gone out of the window with the strikes, I think it’s fair to say I no longer regard them as a useful form of transport.
