Lack of Early & Late Trains

Gentlemen All.

For what it is worth - I understood some while ago that the train operator is keen to operate additional trains and that it is Network Rail who are being intransigent, claiming that due to maintenance requirements they cannnot release the track. It was suggested to me that there were those connected with the railway who would prefer to see the 'privately' operated station fail, as they think it is they who should put their mark of 'efficiency' on it! There was mention of some outdated trade union views. I cannot vouch for the accuracy of this, but assessed the information source as being reliable.
