All will become clear in the fullness of time just one or two little hiccups presenting themselves to us. When they ar made public hopefully all will be understood. We are working hard on it as a team and the info will be out as soon as we can.

Looking at Thursday's timetable I see the trial commuter services are on there. The two in the morning are down as Auto, the first evening one of the other sets terminating at Bewdley and the second a local set which continues to Bridgnorth.

Indeed it is a re-run of that debate. But my point is not to reopen Whitby good/bad, but to highlight that for 17 miles of infrastructure with associated fixed costs, driving the maximum cash inflow is key. And with very limited capacity to...
