So who would you rather have running Southern from September 2009?

NedRail (currently running Merseyrail and Northern Rail with the help of Serco)

Stagecoach (run South West Trains and own a big chunk of Virgin Trains)

National Express (operate the old GNER intercity routes out of Kings Cross to Yorkshire, the Northeast and Scotland, intercity services out of Liverpool Street to, and local services within, East Anglia, and out of Fenchurch Street to Southend, along with loads of coaches and buses)

Or Govia, the incumbents, who took over and turned around the old Connex operations, Southeastern and South Central, and were recently awarded a new franchise operating local services in Birmingham and the stopping services between Birmingham and Euston.

or Govia?
