Network rail is just moving from Arm's length to officially a state owned body. Not really sure of the difference tbh.
I'm trying to understand what will really change...
Me too Annie ??
I thought the franchisees supplied the trains and network rail did
the infrastructure ?
So how can they seperate them now ??
Plus if they lost their franchise early for non performance , the same thing would apply ??
So maybe we were allready paying for trains really,and Branson
and his I'llk took the credit ??
Donkeyman! 👎🤔🤔👎
