West Coast Rail Bid- scrapped

Sanity at last.

First Group are not going to be allowed to pull a fast one.

Quote from the BBC web site:

"The decision to award the West Coast Main Line rail franchise to FirstGroup has been scrapped and the government says the bidding process must be rerun."

However still silence from our MP John Woodcock, the Labour Shadow Secretary for Transport. When is he going to get involved? Do we need a more competent person to represent us?

Well done Geoff I know you were active and vocal on this subject.
The group of idiots we call government have cost us millions again with we know best attitude.
Fair comment re local MP I shall investigate.
The Ginger Judas from Kendal should also examine his loyalties

This result confirms that occasionally it's worth kicking up a fuss and where injustice is blatant, worth doing with every bit of energy we can muster.

Well done, all those the signed the petition and lobbied politicians directly in writing.
