Hong Kong firm will get South West Trains on track

GREAT news that Hong Kongbased company MTR has been awarded the franchise, along with First Group, for South West Trains.

After using their transport system in Hong Kong last month, we found that their rail system is superb, so commuters should benefit from the company’s expertise in travel and hopefully will improve the transport system throughout the area.

This may also make sure that other providers are efficient too.

This is a good investment and MTR should then be allowed to provide additional services, if it is successful. John Murdoch, Northallerton, N Yorks
