New rail operator "One"

I'm well aware of how the same parent company operating many franchises has to have some degree of separation between them, but I thought that was still the case *within* One? Depends on your definition of "merged". There is now only one franchise and one contract to cover 2½ former franchises - therefore there has been a merger in that sense. There have been route directors appointed that I assume follow the sub branding with the "One" brand. Whether the organisation has been merged yet I very much doubt and we will have the fun and games brigade from RMT and ASLEF seeking to merge the staff's Ts and Cs to the highest common level pretty soon. National Express have a monumental task ahead of them if they are to wring out enough efficiency / savings / extra revenue to pay the premium back to the SRA that is required from their bid. Expect an interesting version of typical National Express staffing levels being applied to former Anglia and First Greater Eastern areas along with cutbacks in "competing" services e.g. Ipswich. -- Paul C Admits to working for London Underground! |
