My understanding is that all the TOCs have been identified for this year, at a pace that transfers can be successful.
SWR, GA and C2C (I think) are the 3 for this year.
Next year's are still to be identified & dates given. So unless GWR have been given far more notice than the 3 periods that they have to be given (and that is entirely possible), they haven't yet received notice. But if they have been given many periods additional notice, it doesn't have to become public until those 3 periods of notice are due.

As I understand it, it ends on 25th June 2025 with a 3 year option that could take it to 2028. See 2.2a in the first link. The core date is 2025, and can end anytime after that date subject to a minimum 3 periods notice, to end no later than the expiry date of 25/6/28.
The notice has been issued is my understanding.

Is the GWR date public yet? I was told it by a member of staff that they’d been informed, whilst I was working rail replacement but have completely forgotten the exact date. It was some time in the summer. He did say it could be rolled later if certain processes are followed.
