Is it time to seriously consider stop franchising the Intercity Routes separately and just combined all 4 (WCML without HS2, ECML, MML and GW) into 1 franchise ( let the wining bidder run them as 4 seperate business units if they want but cross subsidised by the parent group to prevent issues like EC repeated failure.
The timing is just about perfect with EC needing urgent attention WC having just got another short term extension EM not let and existing could be extended if necessary and GW in extension.
Your thoughts?
