Strip Avanti West Coast of the West Coast Mainline contract

First Trenitalia Ltd currently hold the contract for the West Coast Mainline but they have been performing at consistently poor levels for a prolonged period of time. Their inadequate service has reached worse levels than LNER, Northern and Southern rail had prior to termination of their respective contracts. The constant late cancellation of services is a sham

We believe it is time First Trenitalia’s contract to be terminated and for the franchise to be absorbed by the operator of last resort.
