Hi Philip. Yes it has. I posted a rant, and then decided later that I should self-moderate.
My big beef over the modern railway is how the bean counters and politicians have created such a financially wasteful and logistically insane mess. BR had many faults, but I think that what replaced it is far more wasteful and that the tax payer is being deceived and robbed. Insidiousness has replaced incompetence.
In retrospect, I think the right place to discuss this is face-to-face amongst a small group of people, ideally in a place with beer.
We manage to keep this great forum free from politics, and whilst I feel strongly that politicans (of all parties) are responsible for much of the madness on the railway, I appreciate that everybody has a different opinion and it would be great shame to start a bun fight on here.
Cheers, BW
