THE Competition and Markets Authority has called for greater competition on the railways, with a substantial increase in the number of open access operators. However, such operators could be called upon to help subsidise unprofitable routes and make a greater contribution to network costs. There has been a mixed reaction. There has been some support, but transport campaigners and the RMT are opposing the proposals, which the union describd as 'ludicrous', while the Rail Delivery Group said a 'joined-up approach' was the priority.
