From an orderly queue to take on this vastly lucrative business! The DfT might struggle to find any bidders for SN when the franchise is next tendered. It's become a real poisoned chalice. They are struggling to find bidders for many franchises. But apparently there's still a few gullible foreigners who haven't caught on yet. (eg Trentinalia). -- Roland Perry |

Isn't that the unions' objective, to get the franchise handed to DOR, nationalisation by the back door? It's already nationalised by the back door - DfT is in charge and Govia just run the trains for a fixed fee. Very little would change if the Govia senior managers were replaced by DOR senior managers (where would the latter come from, anyway)? -- Roland Perry |
