This from Keith Norman of Aslef...
‘There’s a simple solution to keeping down costs,’ Keith says. ‘Stop money pouring out of our industry into the hands of private speculators. Stop paying fortunes to lawyers, consultants and accountants to negotiate franchises. Keep rail profits in the industry rather than seeing them disappear into investors’ profits. Reinvest in rail and the problem’s solved - and the review’s not needed.’
Perhaps anyone who has not been a consultant to the industry in recent years might care to comment?
Sorry Iain, not you.
