Railwayman Coucher may have set a new target for bus industry

摘要

If they have not done so already, bus and coach operators should find for themselves a copy of The Times newspaper of 19 January and read its interview with National Rail chief executive lain Coucher, which was splashed across the front page and over two more pages inside. If he succeeds in delivering the railway revolution he talks about in the article, then it will have far reaching effects on road-based public transport as well. For the essence of his message is that Britain's railways need to operate for 365 days a year without major disruptions for engineering work, and without shutting down for Christmas.
