unstar this property answer text <p>At the moment, train operating companies are liable for the full pensions risk during their franchise term. In the new East Midlands franchise, the operator is exposed to no additional risks or demands when compared to current franchisees. Indeed, the new franchise includes a risk sharing mechanism with the government, which reduces the risk that the operator will be exposed to. In this, the operator retains the risks that it is able to manage. The operator would be exposed to some upside/downside risk, but this risk would be shared with the Department.</p><p> </p> more like this
