Quote from Julian Crow at a meeting in Ivybridge ... see http://www.crosborne.co.uk/srug/irug17-3.htmIn conversation afterwards I asked him how he was going to be able to grow his business (the franchise) in the longer term - how long is the timetable set for. He replied that he saw this as a major point - the contract is for 10 years, but the expectation is that the contract will be amended and re-negotiated over time as things develop. In other words ... the service from December 2006 can change again, and the First Group expect it to do so. I note that the repreive just announced for the Southampton to Westbury "leg" of our route is to be reviewed again at December 2007, and that there's to be a further review of the Cornish branches too after a year of operation. I also note the proposed changes to the system for closing railway lines and stations - consultation out at the moment - which will make the process different (and I suspect easier) if and when it comes in. |
