I don't believe any of the TOCs involved in any of the current disputes can talk and negotiate with staff and the unions in good faith because they are hamstrung by the Government. I honesty believe we would have good resolutions to all these disputes if it wasn't for the fact the Government has an agenda against the unions.
I'm less convinced. The NAO just let the cat out of the bag: GoVia promised more DOO than the Government wanted, in order to cut costs to obtain the franchise.
The likes of Wilkinson are clearly slimy, odious and untruthful, but they're fully supported in it by the fat cats and the foreign train companies milking the British cash cow to subsidise their own countries.
