Depends which headline you read I suppose. 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."

Poor imo, after what's going on at South Eastern. They should be stripped of everything but it's no surprise with the current lot in power.
