5 Days to Railfest 2012! 28th May 2012



5 days to go......



5 years ago, on 11th November 2007  – West Midlands train operating company  franchise is taken over from Silverlink and Central Trains by London Midland (a Govia company) and the East Midlands franchise from Midland Mainline and Central Trains by East Midlands Trains. National Express Group is the principal loser in these changes. Arriva Trains Cross Country Limited (Arriva Group) takes over a revised Cross-Country franchise from Virgin CrossCountry, branding services as CrossCountry. The London Overground rail franchise commences operation, effectively returning the lines involved to state control.
