My view is that the Government's announcement that they are negotiating with Beardie Rail, in order that they might continue to operate the West Coast Main Line for an extended period of time, is probably sensible.
It will be interesting to see what pans out. The commercial terms of any contract extension will I suspect be even more sensitive that would normally be the case.

And today's news is...
The Department for Transport have today announced that the competition to run trains on the West coast Main Line has been cancelled.
I have seen examples of what I consider to be inadequate and erroneous analysis, by officials, of rail related information submitted to the DfT. I am therefore pleased to see an acknowledgement that the Department is not always right.
It is early, so I have to go to catch a train, but this story clearly has plenty of wheels. I wonder if many more are going to fall off?
