Hello & welcome to the seventeenth 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 first episode of my Midland Mainline operators series where I look at the first privatised operator of the MML, creatively named Midland Mainline!
