Default Northern to be stripped of its rail franchise
https://news.sky.com/story/northern-...y-2-7-11899515


No Date Given, yet.



[Grant Shapps has said "frustrated commuters
will not have to wait long" before
action is taken, after the
chaotic introduction of new timetables
in May 2018 saw up
to 310 trains a day cancelled.]

[Punctuality and reliability problems
continue to blight the network.]
