For OA to work as intended, it would be better for Britain and the rest of the EU if they reject the franchise model and instead go with the slot bidding model.  This allows multiple entities to compete head to head, and allows the free market aspects of competition to spark the fight for innovation and better customer service.  Of course, under free market oversight, the freight entities would be able to outbid the passenger entities, and that might be the one area where Europeans may feel enmity for OA.  Taking freight off the roads is probably less important for the average European voter than keeping the public passenger trains running as expected.  They consider the passenger train a God-given right the way Americans consider the automobile a God-given right, right? Slot bidding. This was proposed in the UK and then thrown out as a) unworkable, b) inefficient and c) stupid. Still, it did take them some time for that particular penny to drop.  I suggest FM that you brush up on your Britsh Politics and read the 1993 Railways Act. Then look at the current situation before spouting forth.
