National Express East Anglia Rail Franchise
National Express Group PLC (the "Group") notes the decision announced today by the Department of Transport, not to extend the National Express East Anglia franchise beyond its normal termination date of March 2011.
Whilst this decision was expected given the event of the default of the National Express East Coast franchise, the company is disappointed given the excellent improvement in performance delivered by the Group over the past 5 1/2 years of operating the franchise.
