When crossrail starts with Hex vanish? I can't see any reason for its
continued existence but what would happen to the franchise holders?
Will they get a "cut" in crossrail or will the next (or current?)
contract expire the day corssrail is due to expire?


They seem to have no difficulty selling an express train
in Vienna that costs twice the price and only takes 5 minutes
less than the stopper.



And weekend trains to Birmingham at Virgin's weekday prices that take
longer than Chiltern.
