National Express boss Richard Bowker will this week signal plans to expand overseas following a series of franchise losses which have almost wiped out the transport group's UK rail business (link below.) http://www.rmtbristol.org.uk/2007/07/bowker_takes_continental_bus_r.html#moreBowker , the former boss of the Strategic Rail Authority , was expected to add a touch of magic to National Express's rail franchise bid proposals when he was hired as chief executive last year. But the group , once the UK leader in rail , is believed to be ready to acquire European bus companies after being left with just two rail networks at home. Its remaining rail franchises are the One commuter network from East Anglia to London and the neighbouring London to Southend operator C2C. The company is bidding to run the east coast main line against Virgin , backed by Stagecoach , and First Group. |
