The story goes that London Midland are HIRING drivers from DB to cover for shortages. Ive passed a few familliar ex-colleagues during my sporadic forays down the West Coast. I suggest, that with the current turmoil and uncertainty, LM would be grateful to acquire a set of fully trained drivers and certain drivers currently of DB would be grateful to depart for pastures more secure. Win Win situation all round then.
But going on from this, the answer to the question that is this thread: End of the line for EWS?
Yes, it most certainly the end of a chapter in Britains colourful railway heritage. The only question now is should we mourn its loss, or say like many customers and staff "The king is dead, Long live the King".
