I strongly suspect Scotrail will become nationalised come 2015, (Scottish Government) followed by the Wales & Borders franchise in 2018, (Welsh Assembly).

This franchising malarkey has gotten way out of control. I read the ATW franchise contracts recently and it makes the mind boggle.

The other thing to consider is that the West Coast bid may well delay the Great Western bid(s).
