The Operations director of that company is a good friend of mine and former colleague at Eurostar before he decided to go and relax in the West Country. I can assure you that you won't be getting a cab ride with any train operated by Wessex Trains. If I were you, I would leave it...

I don't think things are quite so rosy for him following the SRA decision to do away with his franchise! Still, I have no doubt he will be lined up for some other high flying job - he always lands on his feet!salopiangrowler wrote:well said dale. I hope your friend is enjoying every minute he has.

I was talking to a Silverlink driver earlier today, Silverlink won't do the same with cab rides.basildd wrote:The Operations director of that company is a good friend of mine and former colleague at Eurostar before he decided to go and relax in the West Country.

Go to know more about the East London line, and new services Silverlink (hope to do). Basil might know too.
