This just in from Brian Ayre (the low cost railway pundit)...
Will somebody please explain to the BBC that ending the c2c franchise on the date it was due to end, and not giving NXEA an optional three year extension, isn't "Stripping National Express of its remaining franchises".
I've had three calls from Aunty Beeb today - all using that phrase and when I tell them it isn't correct they go all glum, like someone has spoiled their party!
Still, never let the facts get in the way of a good story!
UPDATE: Captain Deltic calls to say...
Young Mr Miles did a sterling job on putting the record straight on BBC Radio 4's You and Yours.
UPDATE: I.K. Gricer has obviously kept Alistair Osborne up to speed over at the Daily Telegraph...
"Adonis backtracks on threat to take back franchises from National Express"
Indeed.
