520 _aComments on the latest ideas of John Armitt who has become chairman of Network Rail. Mentions his decision not to renew the Amey rail maintenance contract for the track between Paddington and Reading and for the work to be done 'in house'. Describes this as a bold step especially if it were implemented more widely in the industry. Also believes the ideas are being instigated in the genuine belief that they will lead to a better railway system and not for any short-term profit.
