Northern Rail and project management

How can Northern Rail go ahead with changes to the timetable without project management?
There are three aspects which should have been planned before the changes were implemented.
1. They should have made sure that there was enough track capacity to sustain the changes. This has to be planned in conjunction with Network Rail. Once it has been established that there is enough track capacity, the next aspect can be planned.
2. That there is enough rolling stock to fulfil the timetable and the rolling stock is in the right place to fulfil the timetable over time.
3. There are enough drivers to handle the routes and the timetable.
Northern Rail appear to have failed on all of these points which does not give anybody confidence in their ability to run the franchise in the future.!
Do they employ anybody in higher management who knows anything about running trains?
