Unfortunately, EU laws mean that they have to let companies bid on contracts, so their influence on who they deal with is somewhat limited.

    Even if this is true, and I make no comment on that, you may very well be correct. Without further laws/treaties bidding ≠ selecting. I assume one of the criteria is the company's fitness.

    The train operators should recognise that they are in a bit of a monopsony, here.
