My apologies if these are answered elsewhere. I don't really 'get' how GBR will work!
May I ask a few, probably very basic, questions please?
1) It is said that train services will be run like London Bus concessions. How do they run? Will they be franchises in all but name? Or can operators bid for slots/ services?
2) Who will allocate stock to routes - will that be in Government hands or private operators will decide?
3) Will ROSCOs go? Will rolling stock be state owned?
4) What about services that go across regions (or whatever they will be called)?
5) Who will define catering provision on board? Will there be a minimum level or will it be totally up to each operator?
6) How will freight services work?
7) Will Open Access Operators still exist?
Think those were my initial key thoughts. I am sure it will all become clear!
Thanks in advance.
