EWS lost the PO contract early partly because some PO management didn't want to see trains shifting mail at all, partly because what EWS offered was basically an outmoded form of distribution and lots to do with politics. The stock used was life expired, esp. the TPO, those who manned the TPO were frankly a pain on occasions and external factors such as the decision to finish with by 8AM next day delivery and the like for "ordinary" post whoch meant that a lot of mail was no longer time sensitive. However the PO had 6mth off the rails then promptly came back to 2 trains a day but operated by another firm. EWS now hauls for DHL and Business Post and if the airlines get included into the emissions trading then there could be more. WIth OA a lot of contracts are put out to tender as there are a variety of willing movers in theory. However the ORR which basically sets what Notwork Fail can charge through Track Access reckons that freight doesn't cover its costs on the network. And is looking to shove prices higher from the next regulatory period. We are in danger of institutionalising a very high cost base in the UK. Interesting times ahead.
