RE: Northern (Arriva Rail North)
Its more than just staff rosters and timetables , its been like a perfect storm.

As many people have said Network rail and CAF have an equal portion of blame as well.

I think Arriva will just be glad to have got rid of Northern even if there is a major finance penalty in it .

I also wonder whether this is a pathway to leave the railway franchise set up in there other franchise Cross Country, leaving the government with less operators to play with .
