Network Rail teams up with Stagecoach

Stagecoach today promised commuters on its South West Trains route into Waterloo a better service after signing a tie-up with Network Rail.

The deal means a single team will be responsible for train and track on the Wessex route.

Stagecoach chief Sir Brian Souter said: “This new model is a real opportunity to deliver change that will benefit both passengers and taxpayers.”
