MOD procurement has been working like that for years ,it's expected from them .


Just a thought ,but does the ECML need to be franchised out ,couldn't the government simply allow VT to run the line indefinitely with regular government reviews to make sure that it is running as it should and only offer the franchise out to bids if the service drops below a predetermined level .

Another thought ,wasn't there some argy bargy about the contract for new rolling stock given to a foreign company ?

Over the last 3 weeks i have seen approximately 30 brand spanking new First buses heading up the A1 towards Doncaster and Wetherby ,can i assume they will now be heading back south and returned for a refund
