Transport Committee warns on refranchising

摘要

In addition to the general criticism in its report on franchising (RBI527 p1), the Commons Transport Committee has identified specific issues with the current refranchising programme. Noting that DfT has competitively procured only six franchises since 2012, the committee says 'we do not believe the department has sufficient capacity to procure the seven franchises that are scheduled between 2017 and 2019'.
