Clearly more and more Government decisions are being slipped out without a formal announcement.
Here is Transport Minister Sadiq Khan in a Debate on 1 July:
On the question whether we want to keep the service in Government hands through a holding company or a permanent holding company, or to tender for a new franchise, let us be clear: one reason why we are able to invest record sums in our railway service is the revenues that the franchises bring in and the premiums that they pay; one reason why we are able to do the work on High Speed 2, which will lead to a high-speed link from the south to the north, is the system that we have in place; and one reason why we are able to electrify lines as fast as we possibly can is the investment that we receive from that structure.
Must say I'm impressed by the ability of Network Rail to be already getting the wires up on the MML and GWML with no apparent service disruption and within the CP4 settlement.
