Posted by Rail Blue on Mon Jan 8 06:30:20 2007, in response to Re: 93 NEW PHOTOS of the London Underground and National Rail (Was: Cockfosters), posted by (SIR) North Shore Line on Wed Jan 3 16:45:16 2007. I've read on another forum that GNER may lose their franchise to run the East Coast Mainline.Probably. The likely contenders for replacement are: Sea Containers (GNER) - probably impossible as DfT rules forbid insolvent franchisees Virgin / Stagecoach - best option, but DfT idiots might choose to see a monopoly on London-Scotland travel (when it already effectively exists on the railways - Glasgow is faster from London on Virgin, Edinburgh is faster on GNER; the real competition is with airlines and with National "Express" buses) National "Express" - this would be the second-to-worst option based on their previous record First Group - this would be the worst option based on their previous record - unfortunately, their brand of irritating passengers doesn't seem to irritate the DfT any foreign loonies who think they've learnt from Connex's mistakes - NS, MTR, et cetera. |
