first great western franchise

Post by hq1hitchin »

Just read something where they reckon FGW has asked to re-negotiate the terms of its £1.1bn contract after warning ministers that it does not have enough services to meet demands. Seems FGW want to reduce payments so they can buy more rolling stock....... lol
