Good news for passengers on GoAhead's dire franchises.
This from StockMarketWire.com...
The bus and train company, Go-Ahead, has appointed Keith Down, formally Finance Director of pub group, JD Wetherspoon plc, as its new Group Finance Director.
He takes up his position in March.
At last!
Fall-Behind has finally managed to recruit a director with experience of running a piss-up in a brewery.
This from the BBC's Martin Rosenbaum...
Lord McNally, the minister in charge of freedom of information policy, says he once tried to submit an FOI request himself. He submitted his application to Network Rail - only to be frustrated when informed that this government-created company falls outside the scope of the Freedom of Information Act.
Earlier this month his government announced plans to broaden the scope of FOI to additional bodies, including various private organisations with public functions.
But ironically this did not extend to Network Rail. Although both coalition parties pledged before the election that it should be covered, Lord McNally says they will now wait while the restructuring of the rail industry is under consideration.
Yet another broken promise from the ConDems.
No doubt the sighs of relief in King's Place will be audible all along York Way.
