I was not aware that any BA unit was managed slickly. CityFlyer and BRAL were both well run and profitable units with a clear target of where their business came from and both had a reasonable reputation. That was 10 years ago and since there assimilation into BA much of there target areas have become unclear. If as much monies had been put into them that was put into'GO' it would have had a very diferent outcome. Logic would dictate that the BACX should be disposed of a it clearly does not fit into the current BA model. However, what would its value be and would anything be ained from such disposal. Another gripe; LGW has never been a profitable BA operation, it costs a fortune and has had millions ploughed into it, surely that might be the better disposal of the operations and ramp, the station reverting to offline supported by a GSA.
