The Department for Transport’s consultation on the next InterCity West Coast franchise closes on 2 August, and we would encourage all stakeholders with an interest in the franchise to respond.

These responses will help the DfT to identify what they ask for in the Invitation to Tender, which is expected to be published in November 2016.

If you have any questions on the consultation then please feel free to contact us.The closing date for responses is 2 August, and the relevant documents can be found here.
