Indeed.

I am now of the opinion this could be project drift and de-scoping -
drift towards longer distance services on MML and de-scope by not
connecting GN.

I know MML has not been announced for wiring yet, and its only come up
recently, but that the public domain view. They may well have had 1, 2
maybe more years of planning (well if DfT plans anything) that we've
not known about. I mean, when the actual announcement about GWML (and
on top of that the use of 319s) came out most f us were taken by
surprise.
