Apologies if this has been mentioned elsewhere.
Today, TFW substituted a bus service from Shrewsbury to Aberystwyth and return to create a path for the Pathfinder (very apt) railtour from Reading to Pwllheli.
I'd be very interested to know who would need to sign that off or are TFW in control of the track and trains so they can do what they like? I've not heard of this happening anywhere else before, just wondering if it would have needed the ORR to give the OK.
On a personal note, I'd be mightily pissed off if I'd been shoved onto a bus all the way to Aberystwyth so that a special could run.
