Until we get back to a point of public service being properly supported (and properly operated with that cash) and spend less time worrying about a faceless corporate entities profits then nothing will improve. It’ll be interesting to see how Liverpool and Manchesters franchised networks work out and whether we can follow that model regionally alas, I’ve even less faith in our regional leaders and nexus/Gannons whingy transport coalition than I do in GNE

I’d argue a lot of operators would jump at the chance of franchising when the industry is in the state it is in at the moment.

What’s to complain about - no revenue risk, guaranteed margin (assuming costings are correct!), and so on…
