Tail wags dog

Serious news: ORR paper pushers may have to do some work in the next two weeks!

Or so it would appear from a story bordering on the indiscreet in today's FT:

"The Office of Rail Regulation (ORR) said neither Virgin Trains nor East Midlands Trains had yet signed track access agreements for their services under the new timetable, due to deliver a range of faster, more frequent services from December 14."

How annoying of EMT & Virgin to focus on running trains when it might inconvenience the ORR's very tight programme of vacillating and Christmas parties.
