Very interesting article, though not just relating to the economy as the subject line implies ... Christial Wolmar says: But, in truth, there is no doubt that the industry is in a more parlous state than at any time since the Hatfield rail accident in 2000 as a result of a structure which allows far too much interference from a Department for Transport which wriggles out of taking any responsibility for its mistakes ... I was reading elsewhere a suggestion that the ROSCo s build further trains to existing designs, and citing the fact that they buy new trains and not the DfT. The suggestion implied they were being greedy (or timid) by not doing so, but in an environment where they could easily build more trains just to have a political decision taken that the can't actually be used, perhaps the ROSCOs should be described as being prudent and realistic in looking for guarantees before they build. |
