Do you think the Rail service should be seperate from the state or not?
Very true. They also have the problem that the private rail companies are 'independant'- This means that they only pay lip service to each other and the desires of the government, resulting in a terribly disjointed strategy & service. This is then compounded by the short-term thinking encouraged by the current system of franchises.Nick W said:The stupid thing is that the Goverment subsidise it, but end up paying more than if they owned it and had a more centralised control, management and no share holders.

Off-topic, glad to see we have a Frasier fan amongst us!

Ultimately decisions like that are up to the Government, regardless of anything else.Andrew said:I suppose you could argue back with the fact that we now have TPWS. Would that have happened with BR?
