On the subject of LNER though, the East Coast Main line is a relatively straightforward piece of infrastructure with very fast line speeds. Inter City services on that line ought to work well whoever’s running them. That’s ironically the common factor in all its commercial failures - GNER, National Express and Virgin/Stagecoach all over-bid and over-promised to get their hands on what they thought was a cash cow. They all failed and were stripped of the franchise.
