I'm sorry, but this smacks of a private company making excuses not to pay for an upgrade to the PIS on its trains. An exemption to last until "at least 2040"!!?? Are they serious about this?? The Chiltern fleet needs replacing before the end of the 2030s..most of the rolling stock will be 40 years old by then. As for "last minute changes to stopping patterns", as a former guard..that's what we were for. Don't they have guards on Chiltern anymore? If not then they need to reinstate them if they're worried about such problems.

With many other non-rail things "Grand-father rights" apply.
