SWR
I see from the front page SWR are in financial trouble. I hope the tax payers and commuters aren't expected to bail out a private company, either with money or an even worse service. Another part of failing Grayling's legacy ... still at least they did have some trains unlike ferry companies with no boats! (Remember all that money wasted on Yellowhammer?)https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-51026397Time to revisit the plan below? Why not just let SWR go bust and bring the franchise back into public control operated by TfL Rail? If companies put in unrealistic bids they and their shareholders should pay for it - and in this case their shareholders are corporate owners who are probably hoping for a bailout having put in a uneconomic bid to win the contract, or if they're really that incompetent then they a surely an unsuitable operator?https://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/revealed-how-londons-rail-network-will-look-when-tfl-takes-over-suburban-services-a3350111.html
