Cogload speaks..... Tuylar 15 - I am not doubting your affinity or affection for things Irish; nor am I doubting the fact that the Irish are very nice. Indeed; Rugby trips over to Dublin have proven that they are very nice indeed...(hic) However a large majority may raise an eyebrow re: yr comments on sterling (especially as the republic had its own currency for many yrs) and how close they feel to "Britain". Thats all.....:-) Murphy - EWS was formed by WC and 2 merchant banks (one Boston MA based, the other Geneva Switzerland based); when CN bought WC they ended up with EWS. Although there are hints of a stockmarket flotation for the firm as it is now making some wonga. As for Franchises - HMG decides on the shape and scope of them. It seems that Merseytravel (thats Liverpool and area) may get its hands back on the rails in that area as an experiment. When they come up for renewal they maybe merged or split with other franchises (i.e. Central and Wessex/Thames and Great Western). Incidentally if we had the amount of derailments whoich seem to afflict parts of the US network the entire railway would have been shut down by now. AND| finally; off topic but I am listening to Johnny Cash at the min - American IV. Fantastic Stuff - Hurt; Hung My Head and a great cover of the Ewan Macoll (father of the late much missed Kirsty) song "The first Time I Saw your face".
