Hi folks,
A quick peruse of the DfT website caused me to stumble across this site, where they provide links to OJEU notices, amongst other things.
The one that caught my eye was a Prior Information Notice regarding franchising, which can be found here.
Brief summary:
OJEU Notices expected to be published for Greater Anglia and InterCity® West Coast on 11th January 2011, with InterCity® East Coast to follow in "Summer" 2011.
Greater Anglia to start in February 2012 and run for a minimum of just 1 year and 6 railway periods(!), with a possible extension of 1 year.
ICWC to start on 1st April 2012 and run for 13 to 15 years, possibly longer with a "significant" investment commitment.
ICEC to start by the end of 2012 and run for 14 to 15 years, possibly longer with a "significant" investment commitment.
