A success or failure of rail privatisation?! | East Midlands Trains - Failed Franchises #18

Hello & welcome to the eighteenth 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 to decide whether or not an operator is a failure or not. Today is the second episode of my Midland Mainline operators series where I am looking at East Midlands Trains.
