With the sunset on a truly staggering year approaching, it's pretty much time to see your hopes, fears and predictions for 2018.
Whether related to Franchises / Franchise Competitions, Stations, Rolling Stock or the rest of it, I think some surprises could be on the way over the coming 12 months.
With 4 Franchise Contests ongoing (as of today being Wales and Borders, West Cost Partnership, East Midlands and South Eastern), a huge amount of new trains taking to the tracks and the possibility of the Government falling and changing (what happens when you call an election and lose a Majority), things could get extremely interesting.
For me, I'll only make one prediction: that being Wolverhampton finally has the new build start by the Summer!
