On thinking long and hard I have pretty much lost all faith in the privatised system. Lord Adonis has not just got the railways to contend with, but roads rail and water travel. This is too much for one man to regulate. I could never quite believe that the privatised railway had failed, but now I think it has. I also saw the article about the face the Dft will be bankrupt by 2020. BR did not really work as we can never really trust the government to run a railway. Last time we got Beeching, the end of steam and bad sarnies. Bring on the big four. I want my local train (on the cheshire lines) to have either LMS or LNER stamped on it.
