Just after the completion of this video, Ray O Toole - New MD of NXEC- has said that the franchise is not going into Government hands, he said that if this climate continues, they will hand the franchise back in the summer! Confused? I certainly am. He said that he thought that Lord Adonis had jumped the gun.
Personally I beleive the franchise has been lost.

  • @Stirlingshire43110  what song is this

  • @Trainmaster189 I'm With You! But To Be Honest I Think Private Companies Do Design Good Looking Trains In The UK That Are Appealing, No Offence But The Amtrak Trains Look Like Freight Trains Just Carrying Cars Or Something

  • Even if I'm American, I think British Rail should come back to take care a business on every passenger train in the nation because privatization screws up everything. In the US we have a nationalized passenger railway called "Amtrak". The US government wants to screw up Amtrak by privatizing it. Countries like Germany, Russia, France, and Japan did a good job taking care of thier nationalized network by operating it & never let companies take over thier network.

  • now east coast have got it gd vid 2
