Talk:InterCity East Coast franchise

Bids
I've added the names under which the bids have been submitted. Regarding inter city - railways limited, I'm not entirely sure whether inter should have a capital 'i' or not. It doesn't seem they know either themselves. This press release has a capital 'i' whilst this press release from the same website has it with a lowercase 'i'. I've gone with the lowercase as that's how the DfT announcement has it. Adambro 14:12, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Actually the press release, is from 2004 when they bidded previously, looks like its lowercase 'i'. Adambro 14:14, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Winner
When the winner of the franchise is announced, this page should immediatley be moved to a new title and converted into a page about the new operator.

I have started a draft for the page here, feel free to use or not use it. I would have done this myself, but I'll be on a Wikibreak. --Jorvik 11:32, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
