There is a reshaping of Britain's Railways which commenced with the selection and appointment of Andre Haines as CEO▸ (Chief Executive Officer) of NR» (Network Rail - home page).  NR being reorganised into Regions under 'Putting Passengers First' initiative, this has vested the power into the Regions and the Regional Managing Directors and their executive teams.

The Williams / Shapps report the formation GBR▸ (Great British Railways) and the demise of the franchise model will have the biggest impact on the UK▸ (United Kingdom) railways since 1994.

The post pandemic environment will effect when and what train services will be run


I dont really blame Andrew Haines. He's a man who prepared a burning platform for change, only to find that the train got cancelled before his station due to crew shortages.
