    Yes, I can't see it working either which makes you wonder what the point of the trial is, unless it's simply to prove the point that such a service isn't viable?.

    Well at the time when it was still a franchise it was a requirement of the award. Not sure the creation of GBR would just over ride that.

    The point is it’s a requirement of the franchise, and those requirements have carried over to GBR. WMRE have long since promised a trial. So it happens.

    I’m yet to work out why people are so negative or “non-positive” about such a good thing for all parties!

    No, it’s not. But what happens when a connection is missed does matter.
