Default ECML: Too much competition or just enough?

Today's "Evening Standard" carries an article celebrating
the service out of Kings Cross. The writer maintains that
competition among train operating companies provides
passengers with better services than are available from
stations such as Paddington where there is less real competition.

The July issue of "Modern Railways" takes the opposite view.
"Bob Poynter argues that adding more services to an already
crowded route is a recipe for disaster" for the ECML. Both articles
were quite persuasive but can they both be correct?

Opinions please.
