Description
Hello & welcome to the seventh episode of Failed Franchises. In this series I look at train companies that have failed at their franchise agreements or have been criticised by passengers & industry alike. Today I'm looking at Southeastern, a company embroiled in fraud and poor passenger service controversy, eventually leading to the strippage of the franchise in October 2021.
