So someone (Mark Reach) was paid with my taxes to write that letter? Disgraceful!

They can't handle proper franchises but are happy to deal with toy trains. FFS.

In fairness, he would also have been paid with taxes from Bigjigs Toys, who have every right to a response.
Good on him
That's because he's an employee of the civil service rather than an elected politician! You can still consider that the Tory/Libdems aren't human!!!

Totally agree. For someone versed in the operations of the department, the letter would probably have taken a couple of minutes to concoct - it is hardly needing a considered response.
Same process as the west coast mainline franchise then?
