Noticed today that GNER have launched a new website and are
eagerly
promoting 'their' christmas and new year services.....

Has anyone told them they lost the franchise?

Or is someone not telling us something....?

Does anyone know any background to this?

The background to this is that outgoing franchisees carry on
selling until
the day before changeover. See last month's many posts regarding
Crosscountry, Central, Silverlink etc etc...

And I assume most of the management and staff will be the same,
with
just a change of ownership so why would they not see this as a
continuation of business as usual?

But it will be most unusual if the website remains unchanged, so
presumably the recently-launched one will have a life of only some
two weeks.

I don't know who owns the new GNER ticketing website. It may well be
GNER, in which case it can carry on after 9 December happily selling
other people's tickets as a rival to The Trainline. It might prove
more profitable to take 9% of a large number of ECML tickets than to
run the ECML trains!
