Comment on Passenger Focus post
Lee Fletcher said...
I have some questions on this :1) Mike Greedy says that 8 units are going back but Andrew Griffiths (FGW Regional Manager for the Severn / Solent area) says that 10 are going back. Who is correct?2) How can it be that FGW "will have more than enough carriages" if they are trying to divert Bath - bound passengers away from the local services and onto HST's in the evening peak?3) I am most interested in Mike Greedy's "intervention" which (apparently) has ensured that "a ‘spare’ unit will be stabled at Westbury from next Monday onwards to cater for breakdowns or shortages which may occur during the morning peak."Is his obviously growing influence anything to do with the fact that Passenger Focus is funded by the Department for Transport , I wonder?Recent comment from Rail minister Tom Harris :"The Department continues to listen to the representations of Passenger Focus and has invited them to take a greater role in commenting on the specification of future franchises."Wouldnt the next logical step be for the DfT to "invite" Passenger Focus to "comment" on rolling stock allocation?Lee Fletcher said...
