Bob Crow: Thameslink contract decision is a murky stitch-up

Bob Crow, RMT general secretary, labels Thameslink contract decision a "murky stitch-up":

"The more that emerges about the Thameslink contract stitch-up the murkier it gets, but the bottom line is that a government that says it wants to create jobs is actively trying to destroy them in Derby.

"Ministers need to stop using pathetic excuses to wriggle out of providing information on the tendering process and come clean with frank and open answers on a decision that threatens to kill off train-making in Britain."
