Also, I see that almost as quickly as the Government suggested it was going to nationalise the WCML a la East Coast, it has now decided to give The Bearded One his greatest wish - an extension to his existing franchise while this is worked out.
That, to me, is the best solution, as the £40 million the government is already having to pay out to reimburse the franchise bidders for their trouble will not now be compounded by a lot of unnecessary debranding/rebranding costs.

As happens every time these people decide to give the impression of reform by renaming/rebranding govt. departments with same civil servants doing pretty much the same jobs in the same offices.
