Arriva, Abellio, MTR, National Express and current holders First Group are all shortlisted for the franchise. My cynical side is telling me that First Group will retain because of a political bias towards a Scottish based (Aberdeen) company, especially when Scottish Independence is a very hot potato... "A Scottish company creating Scottish jobs" etc etc. Not sure about Arriva/Abellio purely because of their size and presence in Europe, and again, there's a lot of anti-EU feelings at the moment. It would be headlined "German/Dutch running Scottish railways". In the rest of the UK it isn't really a problem, because the DfT couldn't care less, but this Independence referendum could be a major headache for the bidders in my opinion. Still think that National Express is still in the dog house over East Coast and that they'll have to practically offer a close to zero profit bid to win. Travel is glamorous only in retrospect. |
