but when paul willis, the group's uk managing director, appeared before the commons transport committeer mp that compensation for british drivers was not on the cards. my position on compensation is absolutely consistent and clear. you cannot compare the situation in europe to what you are referring to. i think you are referring to the united states. for example, after the technical fixes, there is no change to the vehicles in terms of fuel consumption. there is no change in terms of the criteria. the vehicles are more or less where they were before the technical fix. indeed, one of the discussion points we have had previously is any effect on residual value. from all the data that i analyse, and all the data that i see from the people who are experts and independent on residual values, there is no evidence that there has been any degradation in residual values. what i come back to is there is no loss. compensation is a legal question in the end and therefore there is no legal basis for compensation. but what about those drivers who'd been misled on the levels of nitrogen oxide being em

the commons transport committee says customers are less and less satisfied with the service they get the department for transport to give up some of its powers. nigel harris, managing editor at rail magazine said not all parts of the report were critical. it is not a broken system and it has delivered many benefits. this quite a discrepancy between the press release that goes with the report and when you read the report says franchising has facilitated growth and it is it has not yielded all the benefits. it is not a broken system, as the report clearly acknowledges. what is the essence of the problem, in your view? the rail companies say they've been a success story. more passengers than ever and safer ra i lwa ys passengers than ever and safer railways than ever before. that's basically the problem. we've doubled the number of passengers since the days of br to 1.6 billion, we are running around 40% more trains and carrying 100% more people on a victorian system that wasn't built for it. the franchise system has become exceedingly complicated but essentially what we need is more com
