    Italian operator and FirstGroup to run West Coast rail line

    Decision on Virgin’s replacement comes ahead of review of franchise system

    West Coast main line franchise...File photo dated 15/08/12 of a Virgin train passing a First Group train on the West Coast line near Abington, Scotland. Holyrood's Transport Minister will make a statement on the 'shambolic' cancellation of the West Coast main line rail franchise. PRESS ASSOCIATION Photo. Issue date: Thursday October 4, 2012. Keith Brown is expected to outline his concerns about the handling of the UK Government u-turn which has cost taxpayers £40 million. The UK Department for Transport announced yesterday that the franchise cancellation is wholly and squarely a Whitehall fault. Aberdeen-based transport firm FirstGroup was to take over the franchise from Sir Richard Branson's Virgin Rail which runs services linking Glasgow and Edinburgh with London. Two independent inquiries have been ordered into what went wrong with the West Coast process. See PA story SCOTLAND WestCoast. Photo credit should read: David Cheskin/PA Wire

    UK nationalisation
    UK rail franchise review faces limited options

    Nationalisation is as unlikely as big investment, but there is appetite for reform

    A passenger train operated by South West Trains Ltd. arrives at London Waterloo railway station in London, U.K., on Tuesday, Aug. 29, 2017. The 800 million-pound ($1 billion) renovation at Waterloo, which opened four platforms mothballed since Channel Tunnel express trains switched to St. Pancras station and extended four more, aims to boost peak-time capacity by 30 percent.

    Train operator Trenitalia warns on UK rail failings

    Chief of c2c operator critical of Network Rail’s ability to run system

    Commuters exit a C2C passenger train at Fenchurch Street Station in London, U.K., on Monday, Feb. 13, 2017. Trenitalia SpA in January agreed to buy National Express Group Plc’s contract to run the C2C line between the capital and dormitory towns to the east. As Brexit talks continue, the national rail companies of France, Germany, Italy and the Netherlands are snapping up contracts spanning London commuter routes to long-distance expresses as private British firms struggle to compete with the lower cost of capital available to their state-owned rivals.
