Is it TPE▸ (Trans Pennine Express) (or WMT) who are in Government control, but have also cut their services heavily
Something the previous private operator did, and had their contract taken away - yet the Government running now also cuts those same services!

You can’t tell me the government didn’t know that Avanti were going to cut weekend services just days after the contract renewal. What a joke.
