No chance of c2c gaining the franchise I'm afraid as they are not on the shortlist of bidders, which are:
Abellio East Anglia Limited (a joint venture between Abellio and Stagecoach)
First East Anglia Limited
National Express East Anglia Trains Limited
Whether any information on the content of each company's bid will be forthcoming before the Minister's announcement of the award of the nine year franchise contract in June 2016 I don't know. The new franchise is expected to commence in October 2016.
