Dear AT Official Information (Anna),

Thank you for this information, what about any that have been rescinded? So any press releases that have been withdrawn? Did you still need my phone number as the response above seems to only deal with half of the request.

Yours sincerely,

Richie

Good afternoon Richie,

I have raised your question with the media team and they have stated that
It’s not our practice to withdraw media releases once they’ve been issued
and we don’t have any records of press releases being withdrawn during the
period of 2015-2018.

 

If there is a particular release you are concerned about, can you please
provide more detail and we will investigate.

 

Kind regards,

Anna

Dear Anna Rushton (AT),

I’m specifically interested in the releases that announced who had been awarded the rail contract, from 2015 up to 2018. I can’t seem to find them nor any press articles related to it either which for contract worth such a large sum of money seems curious.

Yours sincerely,

Richie
