It's time for the annual round of recriminations over who is responsible for the Christmas shutdown.
This from the Independent:
"Train operating companies said yesterday that they would be ready to introduce services from next year but blamed the Association of Train Operating Companies (Atoc) for not co-ordinating an agreement.
"Atoc, however, said it was prepared to take part in meetings with Network Rail and the Government to discuss a new Christmas timetable, but it blamed the Government for failing to co-ordinate talks.
"Meanwhile, the Government has laid the blame at the door of individual operators, which it says are the only ones who can act to introduce the services."
What a complete and utter shower.
Proof positive that the structure of the industry remains deeply dysfunctional (Tories please note).
ATOC & NR directors please get a grip and sort this - now.
It's not as if resolving this is above your over generous pay grades!
