I'd say Govia, but that doesn't mean I think they're the ideal operator. I just think Abellio are shocking, and Arriva's attempts with Crosscountry and the Metro aren't exactly anything to shout about.

On the subject of Northern Rail though. Anyone noticed the amount of cancellations due to the lack of staff lately? Pretty shocking even by their (lack of) standards...
