Was also mentioned in a feature on 'BBC Radio 5 Live' in the second half of the finance programme aired between 5 a.m. and 6 a.m. this morning. The person interviewed was keen to make the point that TPE's poor performance has, perhaps, thus far largely gone under the wider media radar (as TPE don't serve London or the South East).TPE (and Avanti) made the Radio 2 8 o'clock news this morning for their poor service. It may be a slow news day, but its the first time I've heard TPE mentioned in the short national news bulletins since the May 2018 meltdown. Followed by the usual rubbish (insert stronger word) about DfT working with them to improve things.
Probably linked to this on the BBC website: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-63776464
Also made the point that both TPE and Avanti are companies owned/controlled by the 'First' group.
