Good news from today's RDG Second Industry Forum!
According to the man himself, the Richard Brown Review aims to deliver a "minimum fix" to ensure that the three, currently stalled, franchises can be got out the door as quickly as possible, with a vague promise of further reforms down the line...
So those hoping that the Brown Review might actually explore a range of options to ensure that the provision of passenger services deliver actual Value for Money, to both tax and fare payer, are doomed to disappointment.
No matter.
In happier news Richard confirmed today that he had already asked the views of half the people he wanted to consult as part of his Review.
Judging from the blank looks amongst the great and good assembled today at the appropriately named Pullman Hotel on the Euston Road this must be a very select group indeed!
No doubt as part of its commitment to transparency the DfT will be publishing these exalted names ere long?
