Most other coutnries in Europe take a 'it's for the public' approach and provide a lot more subsidy than the UK. France being a prime example of what you can achieive if you put a lot of public money into something.
Becuase of the poor politics of this country thats why our rail system is so bad. We should have a passenger system that is publically controlled and paid for, if real investment is put into it (and not this cheap 'try and make a profit' approach) we could have decent railway.
