Is it my imagination, or is the East Coast Main Line operator trying to take over the West of England main line?. Have they done so anyway, with the LNER» (London North Eastern Railway - about) operator (HM Government) operating the GWR▸ (Great Western Railway) via a tight straightjacket of micromanagement on GWR? https://twitter.com/LNER/status/1659151890683248640

Nothing new - from "On this day" - "LMS▸ (London Midland Scottish - 1923 to 1948) Coronation Class 46236 City of Bradford on GWR " - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1948_Locomotive_Exchange_Trials - 19th May 1948.
