The SRA has announced this morning that First Group has been selected as
the preferred bidder to run the Thames Trains franchise from 1 April 2004
to 31 March 2006. No details yet of what impact this will have on train
services to be provided. There are still two options under consideration.

First Group press release:

Interestingly..

Looking way WAY ahead 15 years or so you'll have First Great Western
running all the services out of Paddington, First Great Eastern running
all the services out of Liverpool Street.

And then there'll be Crossrail running between the two stations...will
this be 'First Crossrail'?

Place your bets...
