Title: Franchise award delay Post by: grahame on January 07, 2017, 06:16:08 Franchise award which was expected next month now delayed until April?
From On the Wight (https://onthewight.com/island-line-franchise-decision-delayed/) Quote Franchise decision delayed Those expecting to hear who’s been awarded the South Western rail franchise – which includes Island Line – will have to wait an extra couple of months, after decision and implementation is delayed. Bit of "tail wagging dog" here in terms of my talking about the whole franchise from the base of a single smaller line which it includes.

Title: Re: Franchise award delay Post by: John R on January 08, 2017, 20:27:04 A two month delay will reduce from 6 to 4 months the preparation time a new franchisee will have. Could be interesting given the current transition date is in the middle of the Waterloo block.
