Silverlink County did have a rocky patch a number of years ago but like
a number of Nat Ex TOCs they just knuckled down and concentrated on the
basics. IIRC they had the most reliable EMUs in Britain with their fleet
of Class 321s based at Bletchley. For a railway getting the most boring
basics right day in, day out is absolutely essential and they did seem
to manage that despite the WCML upgrade works.
Which is the whole point of a commuter operator. Any such operator
that can be described as "boringly competent" or similar has it
spot-on, and Silverlink County was pretty much there.
