Good to see the Department getting its ducks in a row.
This from DafT's recently issued OJEU for an Operator of Last Resort...
Due to the uncertainty of Operator of Last Resort (OoLR) plans being activated (i.e. whether any TOCs, and, if so, how many, would require the DfT to step in to maintain services), it is difficult to estimate a total figure should the Department require support.
Perhaps the Eye can help.
All of the TOCs (yes, each and everyone) have approached DafT about easing of franchise terms.
