Crossrail franchise
The "Two Crossrail questions" thread set me thinking. Paddington is
currently FGW territory. Liverpool St is "One Land". So when (yes when) Crossrail gets built how do the franchises align? Possibilities: 1) "Paddington (currently FGW) franchise" + "Liverpool St (currently One) franchise + a 3rd franchise for Crossrail bringing competition at both ends between the enw Crossrail franchise and the incumbents. (3 franchises) 2) One big franchise covering Paddington + Liverpool St + Crossrail (1 franchise) 3) One of the Paddington or Liverpool St incumbents gets to run Crossrail bringing competion to the area they don't currently serve.(2 franchises) 4) The incumbents remain in place and run Crossrail as a joint venture.(2 franchises + JV). Personally, I reckon FGW could do with some competition so I favour 1 or 4. |
