I wouldn't mind so much if a) it was economically viable for people to use the train services b) reliable and fit for purpose. Privatisation of the rail service has failed, and the state and consumer, have both lost out, whilst corporate interests have effectively managed to obtain substantial state subsidies without delivering an improved service or even a cheaper service. Should have a) never been nationalised b) renationalised at no compensation years ago. You really think it would be any better nationalised. I seem to remember exactly the same complaints being made about it when it was nationalised.
We have now sunk to a depth at which the restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men. [Orwell] |

It would have to be a spick and span modern service we don't want to go back to dirty unreliable strike-ridden British rail. But it could be a far better model with profits going to the treasury and being used to maintain and improve the network and hopefully control prices. I believe the east coast franchise has run successfully like this but it was returned to private as the tories couldn't stand it. Spectacular failing of privatisation this its a corporate racket just profiteering you wonder how they get away with it they even get state money on top.
People keep voting them in to their own detriment.

I love it how every time someone attacks the Tories you go into labour whataboutery mode. Better go, there's someone with a different ethnicity to me walking down my road. I better go and confront them cause they might cause friction in the neighbourhood because they're erm...different.

If you were David Bowie this would be your Glass Spider tour period.

I'm only judging by what you've written on here. Have a lovely evening and try not to have nightmares.
