Hello all,
Im interested in the opportunities and what the future may hold with the emergance of First East Coast Trains. I have been looking into this open access proposal, which im lead to believe is going ahead from May 2021.
However im curious if this is the case as ive heard it may NOT be happening. Also as the Williams review incoming then would this be a factor in the operator existence or not?
I am also curious to how this progress from being on paper to a reality. For instance setting up depots, recruiting traincrew, are they going to be transferred from other members of first or would it be a whole new recruitment process.
Im relativly new to the rail industry and my knowledge is fairly limited. But im assuming it would be a GC set up.
Will be interesting to see what Depots/Signing on points would be used, example London and Newcastle and also would Heaton, Craigintinny be used to stable units over night.
Im sure the next 14 months or so will fly by so it must be a busy period to plan in advance for any potential open access operator.
Any thoughts or info would be appreciated.
Many thanks
