	House of Commons - Transport - Fourth Report
		It was an acquisition by Arriva of MTL and part of that process was their due diligence of the business they bought.
		Mr Cameron defended Arriva's actions, saying "We had to do something when we were 165 drivers short, which was the worst position that we faced in early October".[75] He also claimed that announcements of timetable changes were delayed for over a month by the need to agree them with PTEs and the SRA.
		In 2002, when we took our evidence, it was expected that the Transpennine and Northern Franchises would be created by 2003.[81] Since then the SRA has reached agreements with Arriva Trains Northern to operate services on the Transpennine Express services until late 2003 and the Northern Rail services until summer 2004.

		Arriva Trains Northern is the train company that took over the old Northern Spirit franchise in the North East of England.
		Arriva took over in West Yorkshire from West Riding buses, and my only complaint is that the fares do have a nasty habit of increasing.
		Arriva busses are dirty, filthy, smelly things to travel on and are very expensive to use - and their trains are even worse.

		Which other train operating company would introduce a brand new timetable in late September (by which time the peak holiday traffic has already disappeared), and then expect to attract hordes of passengers in the middle of winter.
		This means that it is capable of providing electric train heating for carriages (it has been seen hauling the Manchester club train in Blackpool North in the past), and it also hauled ballast trains along the Blackpool South branch when the line was being completely relaid.
		The first train from St. Annes on a Sunday is at 09.48 (so no early breakfast is required) and the last one gets back at 21.07, so a leisurely day can be had, with opportunity to stay in dry places if the weather should break.
