Railways: National Express

Question
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what is the current position on the National Express East Anglia franchise.
Answer

My Lords, termination of the National Express east coast franchise, which I notified to the House on 5 November, is a default under the National Express East Anglia franchise. I notified National Express East Anglia on 25 November that its franchise will terminate early, on 31 March 2011. The process for letting the franchise to a new operator has begun and a new operator will begin in April 2011.
