You are never going to get that and even if someone says 19th May 2022, what difference will it make? The reality needs to be dealt with. The programme is and has not delivered.
Reluctantly I have to agree with you. The focus seems to have been on the Wabtec issue, but we are now seeing trains in service that we don't seem to be able to get anywhere near the reliability that GWR could get out of them a few short months ago. Scotrail don't seem to be able to get the training complete, something surely that could have been sorted much earlier, bikes and reservations seems to be a problem that could be fixed, but they seem incapable of doing so.
Looks like a project out of control irrespective of Wabtec. There is a reality here that nothing is actually getting better with introduction of the HST. Which is a shame, since the product is fine when running. I also wonder would we be any better if we had gone for new, seeing the 800 issues, the mk5 coach issues, 385 issues, new seems far from a certain path.
