Agreed! Maybe it's time to devolve power to more local powers who understand what they're doing better, like Transport for the North and TFGM, maybe set up a body to manage the midlands/south as well.
Also there should be a national electrification team set up to work on electrifying lines in a steady and cost effective way and allowing them to slowly build up a workforce with the skills to do so!
Absolutely spot on. Devolution over certain matters is the way to go. Scotland already has it and I assume Wales too soon. I think it would solve a lot of rail problems and quite frankly make it easier for the politicians. The treasury and Chancellor along with the SoS would allocate funds so they would still have some control and be strict. You have this much money and no more and thus encouraging careful cost control
