East Coast Franchise
Hi...I have been watching this auction with interest.
1...Because originally from Peterborough
2...Work for a company that has lost a big contract today ,on change of company.
To be honest Bowker was aiming for this route all along,its the big one.Not getting greater midland main line was not the worst thing to happen,as it could have meant problems getting ECML/GNER.
Back in Feb this year it was the betting that First/Arriva and Virgin had very little chance,against the man who knew which buttons to push to get the franchise.
Note the amount they are due to pay back over life of franchise is £100.00m more than GNER's !!.
I will watch with interest.?
