The Cassandra's of the railway are ever keen to predict the demise of the IEP (too bloody right. Ed).
However,if rumours circulating around the industry are to be believed, the project may have legs yet.
For no sooner had nationalised East Coast lost one IEP Project Director to Nexus than they immediately appointed another one!
Apparently it will be no less a figure than John Veitch, whose previous role was introducing another troublesome fleet - Virgin's Pendolini.
A welcome return to the industry for John, who starts at the state owned operator tomorrow.
Meanwhile Eye wonders who is picking up the tab for the post - East Coast or DfT?
