He knows, you know.
I don't really care who owns the railway, but I'm convinced that it should be split into regions, with each region running infrastructure & trains.
Also the insanity of Delay Attribution has to end. Train Operating Companies paying top Lawyers and Accountants to fight each other every week just to argue who is going to pay for every minute 'lost' is crazy. TOC A pays compensation to TOC B who pays TOC C, who then ends up paying it to TOC A... is the sort of Orwellian madness that only a politician (in the last days of his fading empire) could have invented.
Lets investigate and fix the delays, not spend taxpayers money arguing whose fault they are.
