ARRIVA Trains UK, which runs Chiltern Railways, CrossCountry, the London Overground concession and open access operator Grand Central, is calling on the Government to hold an open access summit.
The call follows comments made by Transport Secretary Mark Harper at the annual George Bradshaw Address on February 7, in which he said: “Open access operators will play an important role in the industry’s future, especially as we grow new markets and make best use of spare capacity on the network.”
