Have they been ordered? https://www.go-ahead.com/en/media/news/2018/GTR-DfT-agreement-2018.html RE: TSGN Franchise: Thameslink, Southern and Great Northern (incl.

I've just linked a generic 'DfT gtr' Google search at the bottom of the page. Hopefully it provides a balanced context. This quote taken from one of the links is pretty interesting, particularly if it's an agreement like your shareholder link purports. "These measures do not make GTR immune from further sanctions in the event of any subsequent failure to perform." https://www.google.co.uk/search?client=ms-android-huawei&ei=c9kGXOjuINbwgAbS772YCw&q=Gtr+dft&oq=Gtr+dft&gs_l=mobile-gws-wiz-serp.3..0i8i30l2.5252.6812..7420...0.0..0.115.638.1j5......0....1.........0j0i8i10i30j0i10i30j0i7i30j0i131i67j0i131j0i67.1GqN_39AYRU RE: TSGN Franchise: Thameslink, Southern and Great Northern (incl.

They should be stripped of everything but it's no surprise with the current lot in power. |
