Jul 2009, Martin Edwards remarked:
but I wonder what the exact mechanism for the transfer will be? Will
the new DfT ECML operating company simply take over NXEC, complete
with all its staff, leases, assets, contracts, etc, or will there be
some messy transfer of all of these to the new company?
It seemed to work OK when GNER handed back the keys.

Until the next company screwed up too.

No, operationally it's all gone fine so far, even with the several
changes of "operator".
