Reuters•yesterdayAmbitious bids were sought for failed British rail line, MPs told
Britain's Department for Transport (DfT) encouraged "ambitious" bidding on revenue projections for the failed East Coast main line contract, a rail expert told MPs on Monday. Last week the British government said it planned to renationalise the route between London and Edinburgh, scrapping a contract with Stagecoach (STG.L) and Virgin, prompting a committee to hold the post-mortem to find out what went wrong. Problems with the bidding process were partly to blame for the demise of the contract, rail experts told the cross-party Transport Select Committee.

Britain to renationalise rail line sparking new row over ownership
The British government is renationalising the rail route between London and Edinburgh, taking back the line from a private company after it over-estimated profits, in a step likely to reignite a debate over public ownership of the UK's railways. The government said on Wednesday it was scrapping the contract with London-listed Stagecoach (STG.L) five years early and would operate the line, which carries 22 million people annually, for 2-3 years before setting up a new public-private partnership. Transport Minister Chris Grayling tried to appeal to both parties on Wednesday with a promise that after a spell under government control, he would set up a new "partnership between the public and private sectors" to run the line.

U.K. Government to Take Over Stricken Rail Line
Shares of Stagecoach, which has run the line with billionaire Richard Branson’s Virgin Trains, fell as much as 5.8 percent following the Perth, Scotland-based company’s announcement Wednesday. The stock dropped as much as 14 percent on Feb. 6 when the Department for Transport said the current contract would be terminated within a few months. It’s not clear from the Stagecoach comments whether the 400-mile East Coast Main Line will be nationalized and run by a state-controlled company or placed under the management of private firms.

British rail franchising model is 'broken' - parliamentary committee
Britain's model of contracting companies to run rail services is broken and the government should review it before awarding any more franchises, a parliamentary committee said on Friday in findings rejected by the Department for Transport. It highlighted recent problems with two franchises - one in London and southeast England, the other linking London and Edinburgh - to illustrate what it called the government's "completely inadequate" management of rail contracts. "The franchising model is broken and passengers are paying the price," said Meg Hillier, chair of the cross-party Public Accounts Committee (PAC).

Britain could take control of rail line after Stagecoach contract failure
Britain could take over the running of the rail route between London and Edinburgh from private operator Stagecoach (SGC.L) after the company got its numbers wrong, leaving the contract close to collapse, the Transport minister said on Monday. Should the East Coast rail service return to government hands it will be the second time in a decade that the line has been renationalised, highlighting the difficulties facing Britain's privatised train network. Shares in Stagecoach fell 13 percent in early trade.
