The other threads I can find on this are now closed.
This was the revised WCML Alliance application including Macclesfield and Milton Keynes as calling points on some services after the original application was rejected.
The ORR response is as expected:
"Having considered your amended application, we have concluded that we are unable, at this time, to reach a decision whether or not to approve the rights you have applied for. This is because we do not have the information necessary to give proper consideration to your application in line with our statutory duties and published criteria and procedures. Consequently, we have decided to suspend consideration of your application until we are in a position to make a proper assessment, which will be when Network Rail and the West Coast Event Steering Group (“WCESG”) has produced its analysis on the possible future uses of capacity. This letter sets out the reasons for our decision."
