Good Topic
More people are travelling on our railways (with a third less reduction of the system following the Beeching Era) (1 point to privatisation), They run generally more on time (2 points to Privatisation), and are a lot cleaner (3). Profits to a public service are totally wrong (1 point to re nationalisation), and too much is 'syphoned' off for bonuses (2 points to re nationalisation). Fixed formations/over crowding don't work at crucial times (3 points to BR days then)
For me, I'll go for a nationalised system with profits totally re invested back into the network, with more 'flexible' stock formations, but with all 'slack' removed...problem solved
