They are probably now concentrating on the case they have brought in the European Courts where they are suing the MOD for anti competitive practices and loss of earnings. Supposedly when NHT was closed for a period they saw an increase in moves at Biggin (surprise). If they win they reckon the compensation could go into the tens of millions. Is this their real target all along?
There are many areas where the govt operate in the commercial field , such as NS&I. It seems to be acceptable as long as they do not undercut the competition (which NHT does not by a long way) so it will be interesting to see the outcome.
Maybe next they will sue Luton and London City etc for permitting business use and subsidising the operation with scheduled movements!
