    Ive read between the lines and quite frankly it thats the case then its not a surprise that ATS dont want to work with you, you used your first release to have a dig at them with your easter egg, and then theres the behaviour of one of your team who decided to air his dirty washing in public and have a go at the management and accuse them of not paying their team.

    Hardly allures a professional outfit does it? Nor is it conducive to good working relationships

    As I said before the blame lies with DTG for allowing this to rumble on and they should have sorted this months ago in private and put controls in and have a code of professional conduct in place for ALL 3rd parties.

    On the one hand, this message wasn't constructive, on the other hand I'm a terrible person and am curious what the easter egg is?

    he asked me to read between the lines and that’s what I did.

    theeaster egg was a rail replacement bus at Crewe stating it was going to Wilmslow.Given that yhe file name for Manchester airport commuter is Manchester to Crewe it doesn’t take a scientist to work out th meaning

    NGL that's pretty funny.

    Anyway it's possible to interpret that perfectly innocently, cause we are soon to have a WCML where it's almost possible to drive Carlisle to London aside from that gap. I'm not saying it should be interpreted perfectly innocently - as a terrible person I do enjoy this sort of drama of course (which is why I asked) but I don't follow the details enough to know if either good/bad explanation is excluded.

    Anyway, thanks both.

    Sorry if this has been asked already, it's quite the long thread, but will the 805/807 have the same services on the Trent Valley or will the 805 be an additional layer (unique services) along with the 390?

    That sounds like something that someone who is not just a forum user, but a spokesperson associated with a company or DLC would say
