Hardly surprising really , when one looks at historically the degree of rail 
cooperation between differing rail bodies (none) , and the current degree of 
cooperation between the existing private & Govt operators ( also none ) , that 
what other outcome would you expect.
If I were FV ,I would be trying as hard as possible to get as many other rail 
companies using my tracks as I could , after all Track Access fees are really 
money for jam.
