When is a franchise commitment not a franchise commitment?
When DafT says so, silly!
Bowler tip to Rail Manager on Line for these gems:
This from DafT on the 14th August 2007:
"NXEC will provide a full restaurant service on 87 train services Monday to Friday with an improved range of full meals".
This from DafT on 6th January 2009:
"Catering is not covered by the franchise agreement with National Express East Coast and is a matter for the train operating company".
DafT - making it up as they go along.
