OFFICIAL: IEP decision postponed till '09

The DfT Press Office has confirmed that it now hopes to make an announcement about the preferred bidder for the Inter-City Express Programme in the new year.

Note in "the new year" not "early in the new year".

Railway Eye statisticians are even now working out how to calibrate this measurement.

One piece of good news - the announcement is not "just around the corner"...
