    Default National Express East Coast run out of money

    Franchised Rail Services: Update

    The Secretary of State for Transport (Lord Adonis): Further to my statements on 1 July 2009 [Official Report, Col.225 and Official Report, Col. WS 24] on East Coast main line rail services, after the close of the markets yesterday I notified National Express East Coast Ltd that I am terminating their franchise with effect from 11:59 pm on 13 November.

    The publicly owned East Coast Main Line company will take over running of this franchise from that time, with an orderly handover from National Express East Coast. I can assure the travelling public that services will continue without disruption and all tickets will be honoured.

    Staff currently employed by National Express East Coast will transfer to the East Coast Main Line company under the Transfers of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations (TUPE), with the necessary statutory consultation.

    Have you noticed any differences? What is happening to all the NEX logos on trains and stations?

    All logos seem to be still there, the posters have been changed though.

    The HST and Class 91s have new window labels and some have "EAST COAST" stickers over the NatEx ones.

    Dont think that we will be seeing the end of GNER blue yet though
