Tuesday was a very early start. From helping the Rotary Club with putting up the Christmas tree in Arundel town square we dashed to London for the ACE Sustainability Group meeting.

GOVERNMENT SET TO SCRAP RAIL FRANCHISING MODEL

2019-10-18T17:09:49+00:00

Interesting article in Infrastructure Intelligence this week regarding the end of the UK's rail franchising system. Mike Brown, commercial director of Geo-Environmental Services Ltd and chair of the ACE’s rail sector interest group, was asked to comment: It has become clear that rail franchising does not help collaboration across the network and this has prevented the railway from working as [...]
