Leaked Chris Gibb report on GTR problems
"Recliner" wrote in message ... https://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/news/troubled-southern-should-hand-over-services-st3ls9frk Extract: A suppressed report into a series of problems at Britain’s biggest rail operator will call for the company to be cut back, The Times has learnt. The review of Southern Rail will suggest moving some services to other operators to force its parent company to focus on London commuter routes. It will stop far short of demanding the full break-up or renationalisation of Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR) but acknowledge that “practical steps” must be taken to reduce the size and scope of the franchise. well if Southern is too big then so are South East and South West they both contain the same mix of inner suburban metro lines and longer distance lines, in a very similar quantity And separating the operator of these doesn't remove the problems of trying to run both on the same tracks, but it will remove the possibility of adding station stops on the longer distance trains to supplement those provided by the metro. I presume that the metro stock is different so there would be no changes in the fleet allocation for each type tim |
