Whether or not the bad PR is unfair, I hear that the existing franchise has had it's day and only has a few months to run.
But on the downside it will cost you a lot more to sell piecemeal and take years.
When the plan first came out I thought they were about a year too optimistic, but it's gone even worse than I feared, so I'd say it was more touch...
It's Nationalisation!
1. Politicians get involved in everything these days; there's no chance that BR would have been allowed to continue as it was. 2. A simpler fare...
And that is largely caused by just how costly drivers are these days.
Good question. Hopefully not the latter, which is full of holes. Personally I think the TfL model works well, but we will probably see something...
Neither are railway people, but I would certainly agree that WCML has made a lot of money for those two very rich men thanks to the incompetence...

I believe it’s in the process of being changed (and might have already). Doesn’t really matter when the same procedures are being followed, e.g....
I have serious concerns about banks’! In other news I feel sure that many TOCs deliberately make it hard to claim although this is slowly...
Their whole delay repay system is hopeless; I have spent some time looking into this and TPE are the absolute worst TOC by some margin. I get the...
But the service will exist; the incoming TOC is stuck with the current timetable until at least the next timetable change.
They did the same when they lost CrossCountry. It really shouldn't be allowed, but there's nothing to stop it and Virgin Trains (which probably...
